Secretion of organic anions by the kidney plays a critical role in the elimination of toxic agents from the body. Recent findings in isolated membranes and intact tissue have demonstrated the participation of multiple transport proteins in this process. As a first step toward molecular characterizat

Hepatic uptake of organic cations is essential for the metabolism and secretion of numerous endobiotics and drugs. Several hepatic organic cation transporters have been kinetically defined, yet have not been isolated or cloned. We have isolated a complementary DNA (cDNA) from both murine liver and k
Renal brush border membrane sodium/phosphate (Na/P0-cotransport activity is inhibited by hormonal mechanisms involving activation of protein kinases A and C. The recently cloned rat renal Na/Picotransporter (NaPi-2) contains several protein kinase C but no protein kinase A consensus sites [17,20]. I
The organic cation transporter OCTN1 (SLC22A4) is expressed ubiquitously, with strong expression in kidney, trachea, bone marrow, and fetal liver, and it mediates transport of organic cations in a pH-dependent manner. Recent studies have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of OCTN1 in
