|
| Function |
Required for efficient urate re-absorption in the kidney. Regulates blood urate levels. Mediates saturable urate uptake by facilitating the exchange of urate against organic anions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12024214}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12024214}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12024214}. Note=Detected in the luminal membrane of the epithelium of renal proximal tubules.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Detected in kidney (at protein level). Detected in fetal and adult kidney. Detected in epithelial cells of proximal tubules in renal cortex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12024214, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15304510}.
