Gene: SLC17A3
Alternate names for this Gene: GOUT4|NPT4|UAQTL4
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a voltage-driven transporter that excretes intracellular urate and organic anions from the blood into renal tubule cells. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. The longer isoform is a plasma membrane protein with transporter activity while the shorter isoform localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6p22.2
Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 17 member 3
Type of Gene: protein-coding
