Function
Sodium-phosphate symporter which preferentially transports the monovalent form of phosphate with a stoichiometry of two sodium ions per phosphate ion (PubMed:12205090, PubMed:15955065, PubMed:16790504, PubMed:17494632, PubMed:22327515, PubMed:28722801, PubMed:30704756). Plays a critical role in the determination of bone quality and strength by providing phosphate for bone mineralization (By similarity). Required to maintain normal cerebrospinal fluid phosphate levels (By similarity). Mediates phosphate-induced calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells (VCMCs) and can functionally compensate for loss of SLC20A1 in VCMCs (By similarity). (Microbial infection) Functions as a retroviral receptor and confers human cells susceptibility to infection to amphotropic murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV), 10A1 murine leukemia virus (10A1 MLV) and some feline leukemia virus subgroup B (FeLV-B) variants.

Supplementary info
- This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.
- Activity summary
SLC20A2 also known as PIT2 is a sodium-dependent phosphate transporter protein with a molecular mass of approximately 80 kDa. It facilitates the uptake of inorganic phosphate into cells which is critical for various cellular functions. This protein is expressed in many tissues including the brain kidneys and lungs. In the brain SLC20A2 plays an important role in maintaining phosphate homeostasis which is necessary for neuronal activity and development.
- Biological function summary
The function of this transporter protein is to maintain phosphate balance at the cellular level. It does not form any known complex with other proteins but works by itself to regulate phosphate uptake. SLC20A2 activity is essential for normal bone mineralization and energy metabolism. The phosphate transported by SLC20A2 is used in ATP production and biological signaling processes highlighting its importance in cellular metabolism.
- Pathways
The role of SLC20A2 is particularly evident in the phosphate metabolism pathway. It works alongside other family proteins like SLC20A1 to regulate phosphate levels. Alteration in these pathways can impact cellular processes such as glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation emphasizing the need for precise phosphate balance. SLC20A2 interacts with various signaling pathways that control cellular growth and differentiation showing its significance in energy and phosphate-related pathways.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Abnormal SLC20A2 function has been linked to idiopathic basal ganglia calcification a disorder characterized by calcium deposit in brain regions affecting motor control. Mutations in the SLC20A2 gene can disrupt phosphate transport leading to abnormal calcium accumulation. This disorder often involves other proteins such as XPR1 which can also be implicated in phosphate transport. Understanding the role of SLC20A2 in this context helps in developing targeted therapies for better disease management.
