GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC22A8 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
OAT3
Description
Solute carrier family 22 (organic anion transporter), member 8 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein involved in the sodium-independent transport and excretion of organic anions, some of which are potentially toxic. The encoded protein is an integral membrane protein and appears to be localized to the basolateral membrane of the kidney. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
