SLC22A8 - solute carrier family 22 member 8 Gene
Also Known as OAT3
Species: Homo sapiens
About SLC22A8
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 313 orthologues and 22 paralogues. Restricted expression toward kidney (RPKM 184.6).
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]
