Gene: SLC22A3
Alternate names for this Gene: EMT|EMTH|OCT3
Gene Summary: Polyspecific organic cation transporters in the liver, kidney, intestine, and other organs are critical for elimination of many endogenous small organic cations as well as a wide array of drugs and environmental toxins. This gene is one of three similar cation transporter genes located in a cluster on chromosome 6. The encoded protein contains twelve putative transmembrane domains and is a plasma integral membrane protein.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6q25.3
Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 22 member 3
Type of Gene: protein-coding
