GENE INFORMATION

? »

Gene name

SLC23A2 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

KIAA0238, SLC23A1, SVCT2, YSPL2

Description

Solute carrier family 23 (ascorbic acid transporter), member 2 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

The absorption of vitamin C into the body and its distribution to organs requires two sodium-dependent vitamin C transporters. This gene encodes one of the two required transporters and the encoded protein accounts for tissue-specific uptake of vitamin C. Previously, this gene had an official symbol of SLC23A1.
