SLC22A16, Official Symbol SLC22A16provided by HGNC Official Full Name solute carrier family 22 member 16provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:20302 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000004809 MIM:608276; AllianceGenome:HGNC:20302 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status VALIDATED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as CT2; OAT6; OCT6; OKB1; FLIPT2; HEL-S-18; dJ261K5.1 Summary This gene encodes a member of the organic zwitterion transporter protein family which transports carnitine. The encoded protein has also been shown to transport anticancer drugs like bleomycin (PMID: 20037140) successful treatment has been correlated with the level of activity of this transporter in tumor cells.
