Human Gene SLC22A2 (ENST00000366953.8) from GENCODE V44
Description: Homo sapiens solute carrier family 22 member 2 (SLC22A2), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_003058) RefSeq Summary (NM_003058): Polyspecific organic cation transporters in the liver, kidney, intestine, and other organs are critical for elimination of many endogenous small organic cations as well as a wide array of drugs and environmental toxins. This gene is one of three similar cation transporter genes located in a cluster on chromosome 6. The encoded protein contains twelve putative transmembrane domains and is a plasma integral membrane protein. It is found primarily in the kidney, where it may mediate the first step in cation reabsorption. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. Sequence Note: The RefSeq transcript and protein were derived from genomic sequence to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on alignments.

ID:S22A2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Solute carrier family 22 member 2; AltName: Full=Organic cation transporter 2; Short=hOCT2; FUNCTION: Mediates tubular uptake of organic compounds from circulation. Mediates the influx of agmatine, dopamine, noradrenaline (norepinephrine), serotonin, choline, famotidine, ranitidine, histamin, creatinine, amantadine, memantine, acriflavine, 4-[4-(dimethylamino)-styryl]-N-methylpyridinium ASP, amiloride, metformin, N-1-methylnicotinamide (NMN), tetraethylammonium (TEA), 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP), cimetidine, cisplatin and oxaliplatin. Cisplatin may develop a nephrotoxic action. Transport of creatinine is inhibited by fluoroquinolones such as DX-619 and LVFX. This transporter is a major determinant of the anticancer activity of oxaliplatin and may contribute to antitumor specificity. BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES: Kinetic parameters: KM=1 mM for agmatine; KM=95 uM for amiloride; KM=24 uM for ASP; KM=34 uM for memantine; KM=27 uM for amantadine; KM=1.38 mM for metformin; KM=1.9 mM for noradrenaline; KM=1.9 mM for norepinephrine; KM=1.3 mM for histamine; KM=0.39 mM for dopamine; KM=0.08 mM for serotonine; KM=72.6 uM for cimetidine (at pH 7.4 and 37 degrees Celsius); KM=56.1 uM for famotidine; KM=65.2 uM for ranitidine; KM=431 uM for TEA (isoform 1); KM=63 uM for TEA (isoform 2); Vmax=3770 pmol/min/mg enzyme for TEA uptake (isoform 1); Vmax=314 pmol/min/mg enzyme for TEA uptake (isoform 2); Vmax=11.9 nmol/min/mg enzyme for metformin uptake; Vmax=2170 pmol/min/mg enzyme for cimetidine uptake; Vmax=204 pmol/min/mg enzyme for famotidine uptake; Vmax=265 pmol/min/mg enzyme for ranitidine uptake; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (Potential). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Mainly expressed in kidney. Localized at the luminal membrane and basolateral membrane of kidney distal tubule and proximal tubules. To a lower extent, expressed in neurons of the cerebral cortex and in various subcortical nuclei (at protein levels). Also detected in secretory phase endometrium; in scattered cells in the stroma. INDUCTION: May be down-regulated in diabetic patients. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the major facilitator (TC 2.A.1) superfamily. Organic cation transporter (TC 2.A.1.19) family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
