SLCO1C1 solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1C1

Gene ID: 53919, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: OATP1; OATPF; OATP-F; OATP14; OATP1C1; OATPRP5; OATP-RP5; SLC21A14

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the organic anion transporter family. The encoded protein is a transmembrane receptor that mediates the sodium-independent uptake of thyroid hormones in brain tissues. This protein has particularly high affinity for the thyroid hormones thyroxine, tri-iodothyronine and reverse tri-iodothyronine. Polymorphisms in the gene encoding this protein may be associated with fatigue and depression in patients suffering from hyperthyroidism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
