Solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 9, also known as SLC2A9, is a human gene.[1]

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.[1]

SLC2A9 has also recently been found to transport uric acid and genetic variants of the transporter have been linked to increased risk of development of gout.[2][3]
