Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Excretion by the kidney of a variety of organic anionic drugs and metabolites is mediated by a family of multispecific organic anion transporters (OAT genes) that are part of the SLC22 family of solute carriers. Different OATs localize to the apical (OAT2, OAT4, and RST/URAT) or basolateral (OAT1/NKT and OAT3) membranes of the renal proximal tubule; the net transport of organic anions from blood to...
