SLCO1B1 Gene Names (Protein Espression/Protein Selection)

From @SCarter79

Theres an error on your "Transport Proteins", you have 3 different subtypes all labelled as SLCO1B1. The gene ID's are correct however. Can you please update the "Gene Name" field to reflect this?

Might this be related to #946 ?

[SCarter79]

I think so to a point, however the naming convention of transporters may differ more e.g. SLCO is a group of important solute carriers for drug movement, but the SLC (solute carrier) group includes everything from glucose to bile acid transporters.
But also there is some issues with the SLCO group of transporters in PK-Sim as it will put them as efflux transporters as standard (rather than influx).

@SCarter79 If we had the gene name or number added, it would at least be possible to differentiate what database origin was used in the model.

I also noticed in the past issues with the transport direction - I fully agree with you. Since this is different from the gene name issue, it might be helpful to open up a separate issue for it. Let's see what @msevestre thinks about it.

I think gene name would be more helpful as the protein name should in theory be easily obtained from it? whereas gene number is more cumbersome (to me at least), but already exists in the current record.
