SLC2A2

GENE INFORMATION

Gene name

SLC2A2 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

GLUT2

Description

Solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 2 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes an integral plasma membrane glycoprotein of the liver, islet beta cells, intestine, and kidney epithelium. The encoded protein mediates facilitated bidirectional glucose transport. Because of its low affinity for glucose, it has been suggested as a glucose sensor. Mutations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to diseases, including Fanconi-Bickel syndrome and noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
