Slc2a2 - solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 2

Enables D-glucose transmembrane transporter activity and dehydroascorbic acid transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in dehydroascorbic acid transport and glucose transmembrane transport. Located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; brush border; and cell-cell junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; liver; metanephros; and testis. Used to study type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fanconi syndrome; glycogen storage disease; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human SLC2A2 (solute carrier family 2 member 2).
