Role of OCT2 and MATE1 in renal disposition and toxicity of nitidine chloride [PDF]
Background and PurposeNitidine chloride (NC), a benzophenanthridine alkaloid, has various biological properties including anticancer and analgesic activities. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) and multidrug and toxin extrusion 1 (MATE1) in the renal disposition and nephrotoxicity of NC ...

Gender differences in expression of organic cation transporter OCT2 in rat kidney [PDF]
The organic cation transporter (OCT) mediates translocation of various cationic molecules including drugs, toxins and endogenous substances. We examined gender differences in the expression of rat (r) OCT2 in the kidney. Slices and basolateral membrane vesicles of male rat kidney showed a higher transport activity for tetraethylammonium than those of ...

Substrates and Inhibitors of the Organic Cation Transporter 3 and Comparison with OCT1 and OCT2
Organic cation transporters (OCTs) 1, 2, and 3 facilitate cellular uptake of structurally diverse endogenous and exogenous substances. However, their substrate and inhibitor specificity are not fully understood. We performed a broad in vitro screening for OCT3 substrates and inhibitors, allowing us to compare the substrate spectra and to study the ...

Molecular Principles of Oct2-Mediated Gene Activation in B Cells
The octamer motif is a crucial regulatory element for immunoglobulin promoter and enhancer function. We have investigated the molecular mechanisms that underlie octamer-mediated gene activation in B cells. This B cell-specific transcriptional regulation is subject to a novel type of regulatory mechanism.
