{"symbol":"SLCO1A2","synonyms":["OATP1A2","OATP","SLC21A3","OATP-A"],"name":"solute carrier organic anion transporter family, member 1A2","description":"This gene encodes a sodium-independent transporter which mediates cellular uptake of organic ions in the liver. Its substrates include bile acids, bromosulphophthalein, and some steroidal compounds. The protein is a member of the SLC21A family of solute carriers. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
