Description
Product Characteristics:
Aliases: Solute carrier family 23 member 2 (Na(+)/L-ascorbic acid transporter 2) (Nucleobase transporter-like 1 protein) (Sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter 2) (hSVCT2) (Yolk sac permease-like molecule 2), SLC23A2, KIAA0238 NBTL1 SLC23A1 SVCT2 YSPL2
Target Information: The absorption of vitamin C into the body and its distribution to organs requires two sodium-dependent vitamin C transporters. This gene encodes one of the two required transporters and the encoded protein accounts for tissue-specific uptake of vitamin C. Previously, this gene had an official symbol of SLC23A1.
