Gene: SLC23A2

Alternate names for this Gene: NBTL1|SLC23A1|SVCT2|YSPL2

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 20

Location in Chromosome : 20p13

Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 23 member 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
