(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database) |
Entrez gene ID | 6583 |
Official gene symbol | SLC22A4 |
Full name | solute carrier family 22 (organic cation/ergothioneine transporter), member 4 |
Aliases | ,MGC34546,MGC40524,OCTN1, |
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. The encoded protein is an organic cation transporter and plasma integral membrane protein containing eleven putative transmembrane domains as well as a nucleotide-binding site motif. Transport by this protein is at least partially ATP-dependent. [provided by RefSeq] |
