Kidney-specific expression of human organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2/SLC22A2) is regulated by DNA methylation
29 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Human organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2/SLC22A2), which is specifically expressed in the kidney, plays critical roles in the renal secretion of cationic compounds. Tissue expression and membrane localization of OCT2 are closely related to the tissue distribution, pharmacological effects, and/or adverse effects of its substrate drugs. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the kidney-specific expression of...
