Abstract excerpt
Three conserved cationic amino acids in predicted transmembrane domains 1, 8, and 11, respectively, of the flounder renal organic anion transporter, fROAT, were changed by site-directed mutagenesis and the resulting mutants functionally characterized in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Uptake of p-aminohippurate (PAH) in oocytes that expressed mutant H34I, K394A, or R478D was markedly reduced compared with oocytes that...
