Probable small intestine urate exporter (SLC17A4)

Acts as a membrane potential-dependent organic anion transporter, the transport requires a reduced concentration of chloride ions. May be involved in urate extrusion from the intestinal duct.

May recognize hydrophilic anionic drugs such as aspirin, salicylate, and ibuprofen as substrates. Willing to actively transport inorganic phosphate into cells via Na(+) cotransport (in vitro).
