The organic anion transporter family of proteins mediate hepatic uptake of cardiac glycosides. OATP8 (organic anion transporter 8), also known as SLCO1B3 (solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B3), SLC21A8 (solute carrier family 21 member 8) or LST-2 (liver-specific organic anion transporter 2), is a 702 amino acid member of the organic anion transporter protein family. As a multi-pass membrane protein, OATP8 mediates the Na+-independent transport of triiodothyronine (T3), leukotriene C4, taurochlate and other organic anions. OATP8 is also thought to transport steroid conjugates, such as 17-beta-glucuronosyl estradiol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS). Oatp4 is highly expressed in liver and is N-glycosylated.
