SLC22A13 Membrane Protein Introduction

Introduction of SLC22A13

Solute carrier family 22 member 13 (SLC22A13) is a member of solute carrier family, which in humans is encoded by the SLC22A13 gene. It is also known as Organic cation transporter-like 3 (ORCTL-3). SLC22A13 is highly expressed in kidneys and to a weaker extent in brain, heart, and intestine.

Function of SLC22A13 Protein

SLC22A13 is an evolutionarily conserved transport protein of plasma membranes. In humans and mice, it is mainly manifested in the kidneys. This gene encodes a member of the organic cation transport family. It is located in a gene cluster, with another family member, an organic cation transporter such as 4. The encoded protein is a transmembrane protein involved in the transport of small molecules. This protein acts to regulate the urine salt and is a high-affinity nicotinate exchanger in the kidneys and intestines.

Application of SLC22A13 Protein in Literature

  1. Irshad S., et al. Isolation of ORCTL3 in a Novel Genetic Screen for Tumor-Specific Apoptosis Inducers.Cell death and differentiation. 2009, 16 (6): 890–898. PubMed ID: 19282870.

    This article provides evidence that SLC22A13 leads to apoptosis through ER stress-mediated mechanisms. ORCTL3 was detected to be down-regulated in human kidney tumors.

    These findings not only link functionality to evolutionarily conservative topics, but also point to the need for a modified SLC22 classification.

  3. Lozano E., et al. Genetic Heterogeneity of SLC22 Family of Transporters in Drug Disposition. Journal of Personalized Medicine. 2018, 8 (2): 14. PubMed ID: 29659532.

    The results suggest that the SLC22 family of transporters has an important influence on physiology, pharmacology and toxicology.

    The authors propose that in type A cells, SLC22A13 compensates for proton withdrawal by expelling the basolateral side of anions and glutamate

    The results imply that Uricosurics, diuretics, and cyclosporine A have substantial interactions with hOAT10.
