SLCO2A1

Solute carrier organic anion transporter family, member 2A1 also known as the prostaglandin transporter (PGT) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the SLCO2A1 is_associated_with::gene.

This gene encodes a prostaglandin transporter that is a member of the 12-membrane-spanning is_associated_with::organic anion-transporting polypeptide superfamily of transporters. The encoded protein may be involved in mediating the uptake and clearance of is_associated_with::prostaglandins in numerous tissues.

Clinical relevance
Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy.
