SLC16A9
solute carrier family 16 member 9
Pathway candidate — not linked to PFS or PSSD by any record here
Gene summary
A protein-coding gene on chromosome 10 (drug and xenobiotic transporters). Enables carnitine transmembrane transporter activity and creatine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in carnitine transmembrane transport; creatine transmembrane transport; and urate metabolic process.

Protein reference (UniProt)
- Protein
Monocarboxylate transporter 9
- Function
Extracellular pH-and Na(+)-sensitive low-affinity creatine transporter. Also functions as a pH-independent carnitine efflux transporter.
- Subcellular location
Cell membrane.

Why its pathway is in the library
Transporters set systemic exposure to finasteride/SSRIs and clear conjugated steroid metabolites — directly relevant to both drug pharmacokinetics and Powers' clearance-centered PFS mechanism.
Written for the whole drug transporters family, not for SLC16A9 specifically.
Mentioned in 0 corpus records
No corpus record names SLC16A9 directly yet. It is in the library because it sits in a pathway the corpus tracks (Drug transporters).
