The solute carrier family 5 member 2 (SLC5A2) gene, spanning 7.6kb with 14 exons, is mapped to human chromosome 16p11.2. SLC5A2 belongs to the group of solute carrier family V transporter genes. The gene codes for a 672 amino acid protein, low-affinity sodium/glucose co-transporter sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2). The encoded protein contains 14 transmembrane-spanning domains, with both the N- and C- terminal facing the extracellular region.
Synonyms: Anti-SGLT2; Anti-Solute Carrier Family 5 (Sodium/Glucose Cotransporter), Member 2

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: Solute carrier family 5 member 2 (SLC5A2) plays a vital role in reabsorption of the filtered glucose. The encoded protein stimulated cellular uptake of gentamicin and exacerbated gentamicin-induced cytotoxicity in vitro. SLC5A2 also acts as a potential target for antidiabetic therapy. Mutation in the gene results in familial renal glucosuria (FRG) and aminoaciduria.
