2.A.1.1.47
The embryonic liver, kidney, and other tissue uric acid (urate) transporter, Glut9 (SLC2A9) (Wright et al. 2010). Mutations in this transporter cause severe renal hyperuricemia.  It transports hexoses as well as urate, the latter by an electrogenic uniport mechanism.  It's transcription is regulated by a hepatocyte nuclear factor, HNF4α (Prestin et al. 2014).
