Abstract excerpt
By systematic mutation screening of the polyspecific organic cation transporter hOCT1 (SLC22A1) in 57 Caucasians, 25 genetic variations were identified and further analysed for population frequency. Five mutations resulting in the amino acid changes Arg61Cys, Cys88Arg, Phe160Leu, Gly401Ser, and Met420del, with respective allele frequencies of 9.1, 0.6, 22, 3.2, and 16%, were functionally characterized upon...
