Primary Identifier | IPR030203 | Type | Family |
Short Name | SLC10A6 |
description | The solute carrier family 10 (SLC10) comprises influx transporters of bile acids, steroidal hormones, various drugs, and several other substrates. Some members of the family are orphan carriers. The name "bile acid transporter family"arose because the first two SLC10 members characterised (NTCP/SLC10A1 and ASBT/SLC10A2) were primarily bile acid transporters [, ].Solute carrier family 10 member 6 (SLC10A6, also known as sodium-dependent organic anion transporter) is a sodium-dependent organic anion transporter involved in the uptake of sulfoconjugated steroid hormones, as well as taurolithocholic acid-3-sulfate and sulfoconjugated pyrenes [, , ]. |
