SLC17A4 — Solute carrier family 17 member 4
SLC17A4 belongs to a gene co-expression module in 1 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function
Acts as a membrane potential-dependent organic anion transporter, the transport requires a low concentration of chloride ions. Mediates chloride-dependent transport of urate. Mediates sodium-independent high affinity transport of thyroid hormones including L-thyroxine (T4) and 3,3',5-triiodo-L- thyronine (T3). Can actively transport inorganic phosphate into cells via Na(+) cotransport.
