Gene information for SLC23A2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9962
Official gene symbolSLC23A2
Full namesolute carrier family 23 (nucleobase transporters), member 2
Aliases,KIAA0238,NBTL1,SLC23A1,SVCT2,YSPL2,
Gene summaryThe absorption of vitamin C into the body and its distribution to organs requires two sodium-dependent vitamin C transporters. This gene encodes one of the two required transporters and the encoded protein accounts for tissue-specific uptake of vitamin C. Previously, this gene had an official symbol of SLC23A1.
