Also known as solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 9, GLUT9, GLUTX, UAQTL2, URATv1, solute carrier family 2 member 9
Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 9 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. The encoded protein may play a role in the development and survival of chondrocytes in cartilage matrices. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
