Solute Carrier Family 22 Member 3

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein

**Definition:** Solute carrier family 22 member 3 (556 aa, ~61 kDa) is encoded by the human SLC22A3 gene. This protein is involved in mediating membrane potential-dependent transport of organic cations and may play a role in the disposition of cationic neurotoxins and neurotransmitters in the brain.

**Synonyms:** - EMT - Extraneuronal Monoamine Transporter - Organic Cation Transporter 3 - SLC22A3 - Solute Carrier Family 22 (Extraneuronal Monoamine Transporter), Member 3
