Solute Carrier Family 22 Member 15
Solute Carrier Family 22 Member 15 (also known as SLC22A15) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC22A15 gene. This protein is a member of the solute carrier family, specifically the organic anion transporters (OATs) subgroup.
Function[edit | edit source]
The SLC22A15 protein is an integral membrane protein that functions in the transport of small molecules. It is involved in the uptake of various drugs and endogenous compounds. The protein is expressed in a variety of tissues, including the kidney, liver, and brain, suggesting a role in the detoxification and elimination of endogenous and exogenous substances.
Gene[edit | edit source]
The SLC22A15 gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 8 at position 22. More precisely, the SLC22A15 gene is located from base pair 100,615,726 to base pair 100,631,839 on chromosome 8.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
Mutations in the SLC22A15 gene have been associated with various diseases, although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood. Further research is needed to elucidate the role of this gene in human health and disease.
