An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 2A1, also known as the prostaglandin transporter (PGT), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLCO2A1 gene.[1] This gene encodes a prostaglandin transporter that is a member of the 12-membrane-spanning organic anion-transporting polypeptide superfamily of transporters. The encoded protein may be involved in mediating the uptake and clearance of prostaglandins in numerous tissues.[1]

Clinical relevance

Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy,[2] specific form of chronic enteropathy.
