Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1

The SLCO1B1 gene encodes an anion transporter expressed in liver cells where it is responsible for the uptake of solutes including medicaments such as statins. Mutations are associated with digenic Rotor type hyperbilirubinemia ( together with mutations in gene SLCO1B3) and statin intolerance.
