Gene Symbol:

SLC5A2 Homo sapiens

Full name:

solute carrier family 5 member 2

Synonyms:

SGLT2, sodium/glucose cotransporter 2, Na(+)/glucose cotransporter 2, low affinity sodium-glucose cotransporter, solute carrier family 5 (sodium/glucose cotransporter), member 2, solute carrier family 5 (sodium/glucose transporter), member 2

Genomic Location:

Chr 16: 31401940-31409590

Description:

This gene encodes a member of the sodium glucose cotransporter family which are sodium-dependent glucose transport proteins. The encoded protein is the major cotransporter involved in glucose reabsorption in the kidney. Mutations in this gene are associated with renal glucosuria. Two transcript variants, one protein-coding and one not, have been fo...
