Slco2b1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables bile acid transmembrane transporter activity and sodium-independent organic anion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in bile acid and bile salt transport; liver development; and sodium-independent icosanoid transport. Located in apical plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SLCO2B1 (solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 2B1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Slco2b1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
