Function |
Mediates the Na(+)-independent uptake of organic anions such as pravastatin, taurocholate, methotrexate, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, 17-beta-glucuronosyl estradiol, estrone sulfate, prostaglandin E2, thromboxane B2, leukotriene C3, leukotriene E4, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Involved in the clearance of bile acids and organic anions from the liver. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10358072, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10601278, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12196548, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22232210}.

Subcellular Location |
Basolateral cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12196548}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12196548}. Note=Detected in basolateral membranes of hepatocytes.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in liver, at the basolateral membranes of centrilobular hepatocytes. Not detected in heart, brain, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon and leukocyte. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10358072, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10601278, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22232210}.
