SLC47A2 solute carrier family 47 member 2

Gene ID: 146802, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MATE2; MATE2K; MATE2-B; MATE2-K

Summary

This gene encodes a protein belonging to a family of transporters involved in excretion of toxic electrolytes, both endogenous and exogenous, through urine and bile. This transporter family shares homology with the bacterial MATE (multidrug and toxin extrusion) protein family responsible for drug resistance. This gene is one of two members of the MATE transporter family located near each other on chromosome 17. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
