SLC35D2
Antiporter transporting nucleotide sugars such as UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) and GDP-mannose (GDP-Man) pooled in the cytosol into the lumen of the Golgi in exchange for the corresponding nucleosides monophosphates (UMP for UDP-sugars and GMP for GDP-sugars). May take part in heparan sulfate synthesis by supplying UDP-Glc-NAc, the donor substrate, and thus be involved in growth factor signaling. Belongs to the TPT transporter family. SLC35D subfamily. Highly expressed in heart, kidney, small intestine, placenta, lung and peripheral blood leukocyte. Weakly expressed in skeletal muscle and spleen. Not expressed in brain, colon and thymus. 2 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
