    FAMILY
  • major facilitator superfamily
  • organic cation transporter family
  • CATEGORY transport carrier
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    text multi-pass membrane protein
    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a polyspecific organic cation transporter
  • may be the molecular equivalent of the postulated high affinity nicotinate transporter in kidneys and intestine (Bahn 2008)
  • may represent a low affinity urate transporter (Bahn 2008)
  • induces apoptosis independently of its putative transporter activity and brings about apoptosis by an endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated mechanism (Irshad 2009)
  • inducing the signal for apoptosis at the ER, an organelle with a well-recognized function in apoptosis (Irshad 2009)
