SLC35C2

Also known as BA394O2.1, C20orf5, CGI-15, OVCOV1, solute carrier family 35 member C2

Solute carrier family 35 member C2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC35C2 gene.

Gene data

SLC35H1

Name: solute carrier family 35 member H1
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: BA394O2.1, C20orf5, CGI-15, OVCOV1, SLC35C2

This gene encodes a member of the triose-phosphate transporter protein family. This gene is regulated by oxygen tension, is induced in hypoxic trophoblast cells, and is overexpressed in ovarian cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013].

Solute carrier family 35 member C2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC35C2 gene.

Oxygenation levels play an important role in the regulation of cellular invasiveness which occurs during early implantation when the trophoblast cells invade the uterus as well as during tumour progression and metastasis. This gene, which is regulated by oxygen tension, is induced in hypoxic trophoblast cells and is overexpressed in ovarian cancer. Two protein isoforms are encoded by transcript variants of this gene.
