SPNS2 - SPNS lysolipid transporter 2, sphingosine-1-phosphate Gene
Also Known as DFNB115; SLC62A2; SLC63A2
Species: Homo sapiens
About SPNS2
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 190 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Ubiquitous expression in esophagus (RPKM 28.9), kidney (RPKM 26.3) and 23 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a transporter of sphingosine 1-phosphate, a secreted lipid that is important in cardiovascular, immunological, and neural development. Defects in this gene are a cause of early onset progressive hearing loss. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
