Gene:
solute carrier family 28 (sodium-coupled nucleoside transporter), member 2
Gene ID:
201378
Symbol:
SLC28A2
Species:
1000
Description:
Sodium-dependent and purine-selective transporter. Exhibits the transport characteristics of the nucleoside transport system cif or N1 subtype (N1/cif) (selective for purine nucleosides and uridine). Plays a critical role in specific uptake and salvage of purine nucleosides in kidney and other tissues.
