Solute carrier family 35 member H1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC35H1 gene (previously SLC35C2).[5][6][7] This protein was originally thought to act as a GDP-fucose transporter like its homolog SLC35C1, but later research has suggested that this is not the case.[8]

Oxygenation levels play an important role in the regulation of cellular invasiveness which occurs during early implantation when the trophoblast cells invade the uterus as well as during tumour progression and metastasis. This gene, which is regulated by oxygen tension, is induced in hypoxic trophoblast cells and is overexpressed in ovarian cancer. Two protein isoforms are encoded by transcript variants of this gene.[7]
