The SLC26A2 protein is a member of the solute carrier family. In humans, this transporter is encoded by the SLC26A2 gene.[5]

Function

The diastrophic dysplasia sulfate transporter is a transmembrane glycoprotein implicated in the pathogenesis of several human chondrodysplasias. It apparently is critical in cartilage for sulfation of proteoglycans and extracellular matrix organization.[6]

Clinical significance

Deficiencies are associated with many forms of osteochondrodysplasia.[7] These include:
