SLC2A6
Description
The SLC2A6 (solute carrier family 2 member 6) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 9.
SLC2A6 (Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 6) is a protein that helps transport hexose sugars into mammalian cells. It belongs to a family of membrane proteins that have 12 transmembrane domains and share several important conserved residues. This information was provided by the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database.
SLC2A6 is a probable sugar transporter that regulates glycolysis in macrophages. It does not transport glucose. (PubMed:30431159)
SLC2A6 is also known as GLUT6, GLUT9, HSA011372.
