Molecular physiology of renal p-aminohippurate secretion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Renal proximal tubules secrete various organic anions, including drugs and p-aminohippurate (PAH). Uptake of PAH from blood into tubule cells occurs by exchange with intracellular alpha-ketoglutarate and is mediated by the organic anion transporter 1. PAH exit into tubule lumen is species specific and may involve ATP-independent and -dependent transporters.

Molecular pharmacology of renal organic anion transporters.
Renal organic anion transport systems play an important role in the elimination of drugs, toxic compounds, and their metabolites, many of which are potentially harmful to the body. The renal proximal tubule is the primary site of carrier-mediated transport from blood to urine of a wide variety of anionic substrates. Recent studies have shown that organic anion secretion in renal proximal tubule...
متن کاملStructure of renal organic anion and cation transporters.
Here we review the structural and functional properties of organic anion transporters (OAT1, OAT2, OAT3) and organic cation transporters (OCTN1, OCTN2, OCT1, OCT2, OCT3), some of which are involved in renal proximal tubular organic anion and cation secretion. These transporters share a predicted 12-transmembrane domain (TMD) structure with a large extracellular loop between TMD1 and TMD2, carry...
متن کاملTwo methods for determination of renin secretion rates in rats.
1. Renin secretion rates in normal rats were determined with two different methods: (a) the product of renal plasma flow as measured by sodium p-aminohippurate and the difference between renal and peripheral vein renin activity; (b) the product of this latter difference and the renal plasma flow as calculated from the clearance and extraction of inulin. 2. The renin secretion rates, as calculat...
متن کاملEffect of oral contraceptives on the renin angiotensin system and renal function.
We examined the effect of oral contraceptive (OC) usage on the renin angiotensin system (RAS) in two related experiments. In the first experiment, subjects were 34 healthy, normotensive, premenopausal women, 15 OC users and 19 OC nonusers, mean age 25 +/- 1 yr, ingesting a controlled sodium diet. We assessed arterial pressure, glomerular filtration rate, effective renal plasma flow, renal vascu...
متن کاملOverlapping in vitro and in vivo specificities of the organic anion transporters OAT1 and OAT3 for loop and thiazide diuretics.
Organic anion transporter (OAT) genes have been implicated in renal secretion of organic anions, but the individual in vivo contributions of OAT1 (first identified as NKT) and OAT3 remain unclear. Potential substrates include loop diuretics (e.g., furosemide) and thiazide diuretics (e.g., bendroflumethiazide), which reach their tubular sites of action mainly by proximal tubular secretion. Previ...
