The human gene SLC35D2 encodes the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine/UDP-glucose/GDP-mannose transporter (UGTREL8; homolog of Fringe connection protein 1, HFRC1). It resides on the Golgi membrane where it mediates the transport of nucleotide sugars including UDP-GlcNAc into the Golgi lumen in exchange for UMP (Suda et al. 2004, Ishida et al. 2005).
