DescriptionFUNCTION: Mediates the Na(+)-independent transport of steroid sulfate conjugates and other specific organic anions . Responsible for the transport of estrone 3-sulfate (E1S) through the basal membrane of syncytiotrophoblast, highlighting a potential role in the placental absorption of fetal-derived sulfated steroids including the steroid hormone precursor dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) . Also facilitates the uptake of sulfated steroids at the basal/sinusoidal membrane of hepatocytes, therefore accounting for the major part of organic anions clearance of liver . Mediates the intestinal uptake of sulfated steroids . Mediates the uptake of the neurosteroids DHEA-S and pregnenolone sulfate (PregS) into the endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier as the first step to enter the brain . Also plays a role in the reuptake of neuropeptides such as substance P/TAC1 and vasoactive intestinal peptide/VIP released from retinal neurons . May act as a heme transporter that promotes cellular iron availability via heme oxygenase/HMOX2 and independently of TFRC . Also transports heme by-product coproporphyrin III (CPIII), and may be involved in their hepatic disposition . Mediates the uptake of other substrates such as prostaglandins D2 (PGD2), E1 (PGE1) and E2 (PGE2), taurocholate, L-thyroxine, leukotriene C4 and thromboxane B2 . May contribute to regulate the transport of organic compounds in testis across the blood-testis-barrier (Probable). Shows a pH-sensitive substrate specificity which may be ascribed to the protonation state of the binding site and leads to a stimulation of substrate transport in an acidic microenvironment . The exact transport mechanism has not been yet deciphered but most likely involves an anion exchange, coupling the cellular uptake of organic substrate with the efflux of an anionic compound . Hydrogencarbonate/HCO3(-) acts as a probable counteranion that exchanges for organic anions . Cytoplasmic glutamate may also act as counteranion in the placenta . An inwardly directed proton gradient has also been proposed as the driving force of E1S uptake with a (H(+):E1S) stoichiometry of (1:1) . .; FUNCTION: [Isoform 3]: Has estrone 3-sulfate (E1S) transport activity comparable with the full-length isoform 1. .
