Scientific background: | Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 9, also known as SLC2A9, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC2A9 gene. This gene encodes a member of the SLC2A facilitative glucose transporter family. Members of this family play a significant role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. This gene is mapped to 4p16.1. The encoded protein may play a role in the development and survival of chondrocytes in cartilage matrices. This gene transports urate and fructose. It may have a role in the urate reabsorption by proximal tubules. This gene also transports glucose at low rate. |
