SLC17A3

Solute carrier family 17 (organic anion transporter), member 3 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC17A3 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The protein encoded by this gene is a voltage-driven transporter that excretes intracellular is_associated_with::urate and organic anions from the blood into is_associated_with::renal tubule cells. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. The longer isoform is a is_associated_with::plasma membrane protein with transporter activity while the shorter isoform localizes to the is_associated_with::endoplasmic reticulum.
