Gene information for SLC29A2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3177
Official gene symbolSLC29A2
Full namesolute carrier family 29 (nucleoside transporters), member 2
Aliases,DER12,ENT2,HNP36,
Gene summaryThe uptake of nucleosides by transporters, such as SLC29A2, is essential for nucleotide synthesis by salvage pathways in cells that lack de novo biosynthetic pathways. Nucleoside transport also plays a key role in the regulation of many physiologic processes through its effect on adenosine concentration at the cell surface (Griffiths et al., 1997 [PubMed 9396714]).[supplied by OMIM]
