This locus represents naturally occurring readthrough transcription between the neighboring SLCO1B3 (solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B3) and SLCO1B7 (solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B7 (putative)) genes on chromosome 12. The readthrough transcript encodes a protein that shares sequence identity with both the upstream and downstream genes. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2019]
