Torasemide Transport by Organic Anion Transporters Contributes to Hyperuricemia [PDF]
The high renal clearance of torasemide, the most potent loop diuretic, suggests active tubular secretion in the proximal tubule. Previous studies implicated the organic anion transporters (OAT) in this process; human OAT1 (hOAT1) and hOAT3 are found on the basolateral surface of proximal ...

Novel (sulfated) thyroid hormone transporters in the solute carrier 22 family
Objective: Thyroid hormone (TH) transport represents a critical first step in governing intracellular TH regulation. It is still unknown whether the full repertoire of TH transporters has been identified.

Functional characterization and discovery of modulators of SbMATE, the agronomically important aluminium tolerance transporter from Sorghum bicolor. [PDF]
About 50% of the world's arable land is strongly acidic (pH ≤ 5). The low pH solubilizes root-toxic ionic aluminium (Al3+) species from clay minerals, driving the evolution of counteractive adaptations in cultivated crops.

Lactate-proton co-transport and its contribution to interstitial acidification during hypoxia in isolated rat spinal roots [PDF]
Exposure of nervous tissue to hypoxia results in interstitial acidification. There is evidence for concomitant decrease in extracellular pH to the increase in tissue lactate.

Interactions of Human Organic Anion Transporters With Aristolochic Acids
Aristolochic acids (AAs), contained in Chinese herbal preparations, have been considered to induce nephropathy. In order to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of AA-induced nephrotoxicity, we have elucidated the interaction of human organic anion ...

Decreased expression of breast cancer resistance protein in the duodenum in patients with obstructive cholestasis [PDF]
Background/Aims: The expression of transporters involved in bile acid homeostasis is differentially regulated during obstructive cholestasis. Since the drug efflux transporter breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is known to transport bile acids, we ...

The Role of Mitochondria in Drug-Induced Kidney Injury
The kidneys utilize roughly 10% of the body’s oxygen supply to produce the energy required for accomplishing their primary function: the regulation of body fluid composition through secreting, filtering, and reabsorbing metabolites and nutrients.

Renal drug transporters and their significance in drug–drug interactions
The kidney is a vital organ for the elimination of therapeutic drugs and their metabolites. Renal drug transporters, which are primarily located in the renal proximal tubules, play an important role in tubular secretion and reabsorption of drug molecules

Solute channels of the outer membrane: from bacteria to chloroplasts [PDF]
Chloroplasts, unique organelles of plants, originated from endosymbiosis of an ancestor of today's cyanobacteria with a mitochondria-containing host cell. It is assumed that the outer envelope membrane, which delimits the chloroplast from the surrounding
