Solute carrier family 22 member 13

Definition:

Anion antiporter that mediates the transport of urate, orotate and nicotinate in exchange for organic or inorganic anions. Translocates urate and orotate across the apical membrane of proximal tubule epithelial cells and involved in urate renal reabsorption. Possibly involved in orotate renal reabsorption and nicotinate intestinal reabsorption. Mediates urate uptake by an exchange with organic anions such as (S)-lactate, succinate, glutathione and nicotinate. Urate and orotate transports are Cl(-)-dependent. Shows similar transport characteristics as the urate/orotate renal antiporter SLC22A12/URAT1 and may act as a compensator of SLC22A12/URAT1 in certain conditions (Probable).
