Description
Product Characteristics: SLCO2B1 mediates the Na+-independent transport of organic anions such as taurocholate, the prostaglandins PGD2, PGE1, PGE2, leukotriene C4, thromboxane B2 and iloprost.
Alias Symbols: DKFZp686E0517, KIAA0880, OATP-B, OATP2B1, OATPB, SLC21A9
Protein Interaction Partner: APP,
Protein Size: 709
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]
