SLC2A12
Description
The SLC2A12 (solute carrier family 2 member 12) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 6.
Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC2A12 gene. This protein is involved in the transport of glucose across cell membranes. It is an insulin-independent transporter, meaning that it does not require the presence of insulin to function. This gene is located on chromosome 1. This information is from the United States National Library of Medicine, which is in the public domain.
Insulin-independent facilitative glucose transporter.
SLC2A12 is also known as GLUT12, GLUT8.
