This gene encodes a member of the triose-phosphate transporter protein family. This gene is regulated by oxygen tension, is induced in hypoxic trophoblast cells, and is overexpressed in ovarian cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013],

Function:
Function:May play an important role in the cellular response to tissue hypoxia.,induction:In hypoxic trophoblast cells.,similarity:Belongs to the TPT transporter family. SLC35C subfamily.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed although the level of expression is tissue dependent. Overexpressed in ovarian cancer.,
