Few cases of melanomas, breast and stomach cancers showed weak nuclear staining. Additional nuclear staining was observed in several prostate and few renal cancers. Remaining cancer tissues were mainly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC2A9 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
Glut9, GLUTX, URATv1
Description
Solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 9 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the SLC2A facilitative glucose transporter family. Members of this family play a significant role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. The encoded protein may play a role in the development and survival of chondrocytes in cartilage matrices. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
