    FAMILY organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) family
    CATEGORY transport carrier
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • transport of 3(H) estrone-3-sulfate
  • a physiological role in the placental uptake of fetal-derived sulfated steroids (St-Pierre et al, 2002)
  • involved in de novo synthesis of placental estrogens but may contribute to the clearance of estrogen sulfates from foetal circulation (Ugele et al, 2008)
