Overview of Gene Research
Slc2a9, also known as GLUT9, is a gene encoding a transporter that plays a crucial role in regulating serum urate levels. It is mainly expressed in the renal tubules and is involved in uric acid (UA) absorption. Serum urate regulation by transporters like Slc2a9 is essential for preventing diseases related to abnormal urate levels. Genetic models can be valuable in studying its function [1,2].
A study constructed kidney organoids bearing an Slc2a9 missense mutation (rs16890979). These organoids showed reduced UA absorption, and UA absorption was increased in organoids with Slc2a9 overexpression and decreased with knockdown, suggesting GLUT9's role in UA absorption [2]. Meta-analyses found that certain Slc2a9 gene polymorphisms (rs12510549, rs16890979, rs1014290) protect against gout development in Caucasians and/or Asians, while rs3733591 may be a susceptibility SNP in Asians [3,4].
In conclusion, Slc2a9 is essential for uric acid absorption and regulation of serum urate levels. Studies using kidney organoids and meta-analyses of gene polymorphisms have revealed its role in gout susceptibility. Understanding Slc2a9's function through such model-based research provides insights into the mechanisms of hyperuricemia-related diseases like gout, potentially guiding future treatment strategies.
