Function | Bidirectional uniporter involved in the facilitative transport of nucleosides and nucleobases, and contributes to maintaining their cellular homeostasis (PubMed:10722669, PubMed:12527552, PubMed:12590919, PubMed:16214850, PubMed:21795683, PubMed:9396714, PubMed:9478986). Functions as a Na(+)-independent, passive transporter (PubMed:9478986). Involved in the transport of nucleosides such as inosine, adenosine, uridine, thymidine, cytidine and guanosine (PubMed:10722669, PubMed:12527552, PubMed:12590919, PubMed:16214850, PubMed:21795683, PubMed:9396714, PubMed:9478986). Also able to transport purine nucleobases (hypoxanthine, adenine, guanine) and pyrimidine nucleobases (thymine, uracil) (PubMed:16214850, PubMed:21795683). Involved in nucleoside transport at basolateral membrane of kidney cells, allowing liver absorption of nucleoside metabolites (PubMed:12527552). Mediates apical nucleoside uptake into Sertoli cells, thereby regulating the transport of nucleosides in testis across the blood-testis-barrier (PubMed:23639800). Mediates both the influx and efflux of hypoxanthine in skeletal muscle microvascular endothelial cells to control the amount of intracellular hypoxanthine available for xanthine oxidase-mediated ROS production (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Apical cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Basolateral cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Localized to the apical membrane of Sertoli cells. |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in skeletal muscle (PubMed:9478986). Expressed in liver, lung, placenta, brain, heart, kidney and ovarian tissues (PubMed:9478986). Expressed in testis at the blood-brain-barrier (PubMed:23639800). |

Background
SLC29A2 is a member of the equilibrative nucleoside transporter family which plays a key role in nucleoside and nucleobase uptake for salvage pathways of nucleotide synthesis (1,2). SLC29A2 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates the cellular uptake of nucleosides from the surrounding medium (3). As a nucleoside transporter, SLC29A2 plays an important role in the uptake of nucleoside-based anti-cancer drugs; polymorphisms of point mutations in the gene encoding this protein may affect the efficacy of these drugs (4).
