| Gene Symbol | SLC2A2 |
| Aliases | GLUT2 |
| Protein Type | Gene |
| Function | Unlike high-affinity glucose transporters such as GLUT1 (SLC2A1) or GLUT3 (SLC2A3), GLUT2 has a relatively low affinity for glucose (Km ~15-20 mM), which makes it well-suited for tissues where glucose |
| Primary Expression | tissues critical for metabolic homeostasis, including the liver, pancreas, intestine, kidney, and specific brain regions |
