SLCO2A1
Solute carrier organic anion transporter family, member 2A1 also known as the prostaglandin transporter (PGT) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLCO2A1 gene.[1]
This gene encodes a prostaglandin transporter that is a member of the 12-membrane-spanning organic anion-transporting polypeptide superfamily of transporters. The encoded protein may be involved in mediating the uptake and clearance of prostaglandins in numerous tissues.[1]
Clinical relevance
Clinical relevance
Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy.[2]
