« Hide

The SLCO superfamily is comprised of the organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs). The 11 human OATPs are divided into 6 families and ten subfamilies based on amino acid identity. These proteins are located on the plasma membrane of cells throughout the body. They have 12 TM domains and intracellular termini, with multiple putative glycosylation sites. OATPs mediate the sodium-independent uptake of a wide range of amphiphilic substrates, including many drugs and toxins. Due to the multispecificity of these proteins, this guide lists classes of substrates and inhibitors for each family member. More comprehensive lists of substrates, inhibitors, and their relative affinities may be found in the review articles listed below.

Comment Although rat and mouse OATP1A4 are considered the orthologs of human OATP1A2 we do not cross-link to gene or protein databases for these since in reality there are five genes in rodents that arose through gene duplication in this family and it is not clear which one of these is the "true" ortholog.
