NCIt definition : Human SLC20A2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 8p11.21 and is approximately
125 kb in length. This allele, which encodes sodium-dependent phosphate transporter
2 protein, plays a role in gamma-retrovirus cell binding and phosphate homeostasis.
Mutation of the gene is associated with familial idiopathic basal ganglia calcification.;
