SLC20A2 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human SLC20A2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 8p11.21 and is approximately 125 kb in length. This allele, which encodes sodium-dependent phosphate transporter 2 protein, plays a role in gamma-retrovirus cell binding and phosphate homeostasis. Mutation of the gene is associated with familial idiopathic basal ganglia calcification.
