Molecular mechanisms of uric acid transport by the native human URAT1 and its inhibition by anti-gout drugs
2024-09-11
Abstract excerpt
Gout, a common and painful disease, stems from hyperuricemia, where elevated blood uric acid levels lead to urate crystal formation in joints and kidneys. The human urate transporter 1 (hURAT1) plays a critical role in urate homeostasis by facilitating urate reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule, making it a key target for gout therapy. Pharmacological inhibition of hURAT1 with drugs such as dotinurad, benzbro...
