Description
Product Characteristics:
Mediates the Na(+)-independent transport of organic anions such as taurocholate, the prostaglandins PGD2, PGE1, PGE2, leukotriene C4, thromboxane B2 and iloprost.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: OATPB, OATP-B, OATP2B1, SLC21A9, Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 2B1, Organic anion transporter B, Organic anion transporter polypeptide-related protein 2, OATP-RP2, OATPRP2, Solute carrier family 21 member 9, SLCO2B1, KIAA0880
Target Information: This locus encodes a member of the organic anion-transporting polypeptide family of membrane proteins. The protein encoded by this locus may function in regulation of placental uptake of sulfated steroids. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
