SLC23A2, Official Symbol SLC23A2provided by HGNC Official Full Name solute carrier family 23 member 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:10973 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000089057 MIM:603791; AllianceGenome:HGNC:10973 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as NBTL1; SVCT2; YSPL2; SLC23A1 Summary The 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.
