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. ^[5]

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. ^[5]

Clinical relevance

Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, ^[6] specific form of chronic enteropathy.
