Renal sodium/phosphate cotransporter PIT-2

The SLC20A2 gene encodes one of three renal phosphate transporters. As net reabsoption of phosphate is accomplished by the other two, no serious disorder of phosphate handling associated with this gene is reported so far. Mutations cause autosomal dominant idiopathic basal ganglia calcification 1
