GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC5A2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
SGLT2
Description
Solute carrier family 5 (sodium/glucose cotransporter), member 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the sodium glucose cotransporter family which are sodium-dependent glucose transport proteins. The encoded protein is the major cotransporter involved in glucose reabsorption in the kidney. Mutations in this gene are associated with renal glucosuria. Two transcript variants, one protein-coding and one not, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]
