Identification and functional characterization of a new human kidney-specific H+/organic cation antiporter, kidney-specific multidrug and toxin extrusion 2.
A cDNA coding a new H+/organic cation antiporter, human kidney-specific multidrug and toxin extrusion 2 (hMATE2-K), has been isolated from the human kidney. The hMATE2-K cDNA had an open reading… Expand

Cisplatin and Oxaliplatin, but Not Carboplatin and Nedaplatin, Are Substrates for Human Organic Cation Transporters (SLC22A1–3 and Multidrug and Toxin Extrusion Family)
We have examined the role of the human organic cation transporters [hOCTs and human novel organic cation transporter (hOCTN); SLC22A1–5] and apical multidrug and toxin extrusion (hMATE) in the… Expand

Differential contribution of organic cation transporters, OCT2 and MATE1, in platinum agent-induced nephrotoxicity.
The mechanism of severe nephrotoxicity caused by cisplatin, but not carboplatin, oxaliplatin, and nedaplatin, is not fully understood. The renal accumulation and subsequent nephrotoxicity of platinum… Expand

Importance of the multidrug and toxin extrusion MATE/SLC47A family to pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics/toxicodynamics and pharmacogenomics
The renal organic cation transport system mediates the tubular secretion of cationic compounds including drugs, toxins and endogenous metabolites into urine. It consists of a membrane… Expand

Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor-Mediated Neuroprotection by Donepezil Against Glutamate Neurotoxicity in Rat Cortical Neurons
Donepezil is a potent and selective acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. To elucidate whether donepezil shows neuroprotective action in addition… Expand

Disruption of multidrug and toxin extrusion MATE1 potentiates cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.
Multidrug and toxin extrusion 1 (MATE1/SLC47A1) is expressed in the brush-border membrane of renal proximal tubules and mediates the efflux of cationic drugs. In the present study, the role of MATE1… Expand

Maternal riboflavin deficiency, resulting in transient neonatal‐onset glutaric aciduria Type 2, is caused by a microdeletion in the riboflavin transporter gene GPR172B
Riboflavin, or vitamin B2, is a precursor to flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN) molecules, required in biological oxidation‐reduction reactions. We previously reported… Expand

Novel riboflavin transporter family RFVT/SLC52: identification, nomenclature, functional characterization and genetic diseases of RFVT/SLC52.
Riboflavin, a water-soluble vitamin also known as vitamin B2, is essential for normal cellular functions. Riboflavin transporters play important roles in its homeostasis. Recently, three novel… Expand

Transcellular transport of organic cations in double-transfected MDCK cells expressing human organic cation transporters hOCT1/hMATE1 and hOCT2/hMATE1.
To clarify the transcellular transport of organic cations via basolateral and apical transporters, we established double-transfected Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells expressing both human… Expand

Organic cation transporter OCT/SLC22A and H(+)/organic cation antiporter MATE/SLC47A are key molecules for nephrotoxicity of platinum agents.
Platinum agents have been widely used in cancer chemotherapy for a long time. Cisplatin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin and nedaplatin have a common chemical structure consisting of platinum, carrier… Expand
