SLC52A2 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human SLC52A2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 8q24.3 and is approximately 27 kb in length. This allele, which encodes solute carrier family 52, riboflavin transporter, member 2 protein, is involved in cellular uptake of riboflavin in the brain and may play a role in retroviral receptor activity. Mutation of the gene is associated with Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome 2.
