Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable oligopeptide transmembrane transporter activity; organic anion transmembrane transporter activity; and prostaglandin transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in bile acid and bile salt transport; oligopeptide transport; and sodium-independent organic anion transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within organic anion transport and transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in basal plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in bilirubin metabolic disorder and gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Orthologous to human SLCO1B1 (solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1); SLCO1B3 (solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B3); and SLCO1B7 (solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B7 (putative)).
