Functional identification of organic cation transporter 1 as an atenolol transporter sensitive to flavonoids
Atenolol, a β1-adrenergic receptor blocker, is administered orally and its intestinal absorption has recently been indicated to be mediated by carrier protein and reduced markedly by ingestion of some fruit juices, such as apple and orange juices. This could be postulated to be a problem arising from the interaction of some components of fruit juices with atenolol at a transporter involved in i...
متن کاملFunctional characteristics and tissue distribution pattern of organic cation transporter 2 (OCTN2), an organic cation/carnitine transporter.
We have demonstrated in the present study that novel organic cation transporter (OCTN) 2 is a transporter for organic cations as well as carnitine. OCTN2 transports organic cations without involving Na(+), but it transports carnitine only in the presence of Na(+). The ability to transport organic cations and carnitine is demonstrable with human, rat, and mouse OCTN2s. Na(+) does not influence t...
متن کاملbeta-lactam antibiotics as substrates for OCTN2, an organic cation/carnitine transporter.
Therapeutic use of cephaloridine, a beta-lactam antibiotic, in humans is associated with carnitine deficiency. A potential mechanism for the development of carnitine deficiency is competition between cephaloridine and carnitine for the renal reabsorptive process. OCTN2 is an organic cation/carnitine transporter that is responsible for Na(+)-coupled transport of carnitine in the kidney and other...
متن کاملIdentity of the F52F12.1 gene product in Caenorhabditis elegans as an organic cation transporter.
We describe here the cloning and functional characterization of an organic cation transporter from Caenorhabditis elegans (CeOCT1). The CeOCT1 cDNA is 1826 bp long and codes for a protein of 568 amino acids. The oct1 gene is approximately 3.2 kb in size and consists of 12 exons. The location of this gene corresponds to the F52F12.1 gene locus on chromosome I. The predicted protein contains 12 p...
متن کاملInteraction of Cisplatin with the human organic cation transporter 2.
PURPOSE Cisplatin is predominantly eliminated in the urine through active secretion. As the solute carrier organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) is highly expressed in the basolateral membrane of proximal tubules, we determined its contribution to cisplatin transport and assessed the relation of variation in the gene encoding OCT2 (SLC22A2) with the disposition of cisplatin. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN...
