Abstract excerpt
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 the Japanese population. Two SNPs present in the exon regions, c1063t and g1531a, cause amino acid mutation,...
