SLC2A9 - solute carrier family 2 member 9
Function
High-capacity urate transporter, which may play a role in the urate reabsorption by proximal tubules (PubMed:18327257, PubMed:28083649, PubMed:22647630, PubMed:18701466). May have a residual high-affinity, low-capacity glucose and fructose transporter activity (PubMed:18842065, PubMed:18327257, PubMed:18701466). Transports urate at rates 45- to 60-fold faster than glucose (PubMed:18842065). Does not transport galactose (PubMed:28083649). May mediate small uptake of adenine but not of other nucleobases (PubMed:22647630).
