SLC22A13

Function

This gene encodes a member of the organic-cation transporter family. It is located in a gene cluster with another member of the family, organic cation transporter like 4. The encoded protein is a transmembrane protein involved in the transport of small molecules. This protein can function to mediate urate uptake and is a high affinity nicotinate exchanger in the kidneys and the intestine.

gollark: This is mostly because it does not, in fact, include any 2D spaces, except possibly in the planned eventually™ graph visualizer.
gollark: minoteaur™ will of course not enforce rectangular grids.
gollark: Meh.
gollark: I always did hexagons in C:S.
gollark: Now, admittedly, based on the BIO 2021, triangle grids are actually quite irritating, but they have nice properties.
