| Official gene symbol | | SLC22A2 |
| Full name | | solute carrier family 22 (organic cation transporter), member 2 |
| Aliases | | ,MGC32628,OCT2, |
| 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. It is found primarily in the kidney, where it may mediate the first step in cation reabsorption. [provided by RefSeq] |
