Solute Carrier Organic Anion Transporter Family Member 1B3 - CISMeF
Solute Carrier Organic Anion Transporter Family Member 1B3MeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : Solute Carrier Organic Anion Transporter Family Member 1B3;
MeSH definition : A sodium-independent organic anion transporter that functions in the uptake of various
drugs and endogenous compounds including ESTRADIOL; TAUROCHOLATE; LEUKOTRIENE C4;
and METHOTREXATE. It also functions in clearing BILE ACIDS and organic anions from
the liver. Mutations in the SLCO1B3 gene are associated with Rotor Type HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA.;
