Recombinant Human Sodium-dependent phosphate transporter 2 (SLC20A2), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q08357

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SLC20A2

Target Full Name

Sodium-dependent phosphate transporter 2

Target Function

Sodium-phosphate symporter which seems to play a fundamental housekeeping role in phosphate transport by absorbing phosphate from interstitial fluid for normal cellular functions such as cellular metabolism, signal transduction, and nucleic acid and lipid synthesis. In vitro, sodium-dependent phosphate uptake is not significantly affected by acidic and alkaline conditions, however sodium-independent phosphate uptake occurs at acidic conditions. May play a role in extracellular matrix, cartilage and vascular calcification. Functions as a retroviral receptor and confers human cells susceptibility to infection to amphotropic murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV), 10A1 murine leukemia virus (10A1 MLV) and some feline leukemia virus subgroup B (FeLV-B) variants.

Target Involvement

Basal ganglia calcification, idiopathic, 1 (IBGC1)

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Inorganic phosphate transporter (PiT) (TC 2.A.20) family

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitously expressed.

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the inorganic phosphate transporter family. The encoded protein is a type 3 sodium-dependent phosphate symporter that plays an important role in phosphate homeostasis by mediating cellular phosphate uptake. The encoded protein also confers susceptibility to viral infection as a gamma-retroviral receptor. Mutations in this gene may play a role in familial idiopathic basal ganglia calcification. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
