Gene: SLCO1A2

Alternate names for this Gene: OATP|OATP-A|OATP1A2|SLC21A3

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a sodium-independent transporter which mediates cellular uptake of organic ions in the liver. Its substrates include bile acids, bromosulphophthalein, and some steroidal compounds. The protein is a member of the SLC21A family of solute carriers. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12p12.1

Description of this Gene: solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1A2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
