“…[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] OAT4 is an apical organic anion/dicarboxylate exchanger, which mainly functions under physiological conditions as an apical pathway for the reabsorption of some organic anions from urine into tubular cells, driven by an outwardly directed dicarboxylate gradient, probably with coupling to apical organic efflux transporters, such as MRP2, NPT1 and, possibly, the human homologue of OATv1. 25 NPT1 expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes transports estradiol-17β-glucuronide, PAH, benzylpenicillin, faropenem, indomethacin and uric acid and an has affinity for several organic anions, including 2-ketoglutaric acid, β-lactam antibiotics (ampicillin, cefazolin, cephalexin), benzoic acid, lactic acid, probenecid and phenol red.…”
