About SLC23A2

Cytogenetic location: 20p13 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 20:4,852,358-5,010,313 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 211 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Broad expression in adrenal (RPKM 40.7), brain (RPKM 20.8) and 23 other tissues.

Summary

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.
