Intestinal OCTN2- and MCT1-targeted drug delivery to improve oral bioavailability
Various drug transporters are widely expressed throughout the intestine and play important roles in absorbing nutrients and drugs, thus providing high quality targets for the design of prodrugs or nanoparticles to facilitate oral drug delivery.

Interaction of Organic Cations with Organic Anion Transporters [PDF]
Studies of the organic anion transporters (Oats) have focused mainly on their interactions with organic anionic substrates. However, as suggested when Oat1 was originally identified as NKT (Lopez-Nieto, C. E., You, G., Bush, K. T., Barros, E. J., Beier, D. R., and Nigam, S. K. (1997) J. Biol. Chem.

Mutations in Novel Organic Cation Transporter (OCTN2), an Organic Cation/Carnitine Transporter, with Differential Effects on the Organic Cation Transport Function and the Carnitine Transport Function [PDF]
Novel organic cation transporter (OCTN2) is an organic cation/carnitine transporter, and two missense mutations, L352R and P478L, in OCTN2 have been identified as the cause for primary carnitine deficiency. In the present study, we assessed the influence of these two mutations on the carnitine transport function and the organic cation transport ...

Substrates of the Human Brain Proton-Organic Cation Antiporter and Comparison with Organic Cation Transporter 1 Activities. [PDF]
Many organic cations (OCs) may be transported through membranes by a genetically still uncharacterized proton-organic cation (H + OC) antiporter. Here, we characterized an extended substrate spectrum of this antiporter.

Functional expression of a high affinity mammalian hepatic choline/organic cation transporter1
Uptake by the liver of the organic cation and essential nutrient choline is required for the hepatic synthesis of phosphatidylcholine. Uptake of other organic cations is also important for the metabolism and secretion of numerous endobiotics and drugs ...
