SLC2A9

Protein name: GLUT9 Aliases: GLUTX, URATv1 Substrates: urate (glucose, fructose) Transport type: N/D Tissue and cellular expression: kidney, liver, small intestine, placenta, lung, leucocytes Subcellular expression: N/D Disease: renal hypouricemia Locus: 4p16-15.3 Sequence ID: NP_001001290.1, NM_001001290.1 NP_064425.2, NM_020041.2 Gene ID: 56606 Splice variants: 2 splice variants

GTR9_HUMAN (UniProt)

Gene names: SLC2A9, GLUT9
Protein names and data: GTR9_HUMAN, Full=Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 9, Full=Glucose transporter type 9;Short=GLUT-9; Length: 540 a.a., Mass: 58702 Da,
fasta formatted sequence

Function: Transport urate and fructose. May have a role in the urate reabsorption by proximal tubules. Also transports glucose at low rate
Disease:
Cellular location: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
Tissue specificity: Most strongly expressed in basolateral membranes of proximal renal tubular cells, liver and placenta. Also detected in lung, blood leukocytes, heart skeletal muscle and chondrocytes from articular cartilage. Isoform 2 is only detected in the apical membranes of polarized renal tubular cells and placenta. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are detected in kidney membrane (at protein level)

Genetic variants

Genetic variations in SLC2A9 influence the variance in serum uric acid concentrations and define the serum uric acid concentration quantitative trait locus 2 (UAQTL2) [MIM:612076]. Excess serum accumulation of uric acid can lead to the development of gout. See also Ensembl:ENST00000506583
