Gene: SLC22A4

Alternate names for this Gene: DFNB60|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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 5

Location in Chromosome : 5q31.1

Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 22 member 4

Type of Gene: protein-coding
