Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC2A9 gene .[ 5] [ 6] [ 7]
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.[ 7]
SLC2A9 has also recently been found to transport uric acid , and genetic variants of the transporter have been linked to increased risk of development of both hyperuricemia , gout and Alzheimer's disease .[ 8] [ 9] [ 10]
