Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the functional properties of five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in organic cation transporter OCT3 gene (SLC22A3) resulting in the amino acid changes with a transient expression system. Three SNPs (A116S, T400I, and A439V) exhibited reduced uptake of both [(3)H]histamine and [(3)H]MPP(+), although their protein expressions were detected in the plasma membrane of transfected cells. This study...
