Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1) or liver-specific organic anion transporter 1 (LST-1) and sodium-independent organic anion-transporting polypeptide 2 (OATP-2), is formerly known as solute carrier family 21 (organic anion transporter), member 6 (SLC21A6). SLCO1B1 is predominantly expressed in liver. It is expressed in the basolateral membrane. It has 12 transmembrane domains. In human chromosome, the gene SLCO1B1 is localized on 12p12.1
Specificity
The antibody detects endogenous levels of total SLCO1B1 protein.
Immunogen
Synthesized peptide derived from internal of human SLCO1B1.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1) transports taurocholate, conjugated steroids, eicosanoids, and thyroid hormones, in a sodium independent manner. SLCO1B1 is the key transporter of bile for the clearance of human liver. Polymorphism in SLCO1B1 might lead to life threatening drug toxicities. Mutations in SLCO1B1 and SLCO1B3 leads to rotor syndrome in human, affecting conjugated bilirubin reuptake in liver. Genetic variability in SLCO1B1 affects the plasma concentration of statins.

Bilirubin, a breakdown product of heme, is normally glucuronidated and excreted by the liver into bile. Failure of this system can lead to a buildup of conjugated bilirubin in the blood, resulting in jaundice. The mechanistic basis of bilirubin excretion
