Human OATP4C1/rat Oatp4c1 might be a first step of the transport pathway of digoxin and various compounds into urine in the kidney, which is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs for the treatment of heart failure.

It is demonstrated that IL-17 increases the net angiogenic activity and in vivo growth of NSCLC via promoting CXCR-2-dependent angiogenesis and suggest that targeting CX CR-2 signaling may be a novel promising strategy to treat patients with NSCLCs.

The results suggest that OATP1B1 and OATp1B3 play important roles in CDCA uptake into the liver, and fluorescent bile acids are useful tools to characterize the uptake properties of membrane transporters.

Overexpression of human kidney-specific organic anion transporter SLCO4C1 in rat kidney reduced hypertension, cardiomegaly, and inflammation and increased the clearance of asymmetric dimethylarginine and trans-aconitate in renal failure, suggesting that drugs that upregulate SLCC1 may have therapeutic potential for patients with CKD.

Northern blot analyses and in situ hybridization suggest that rat GST-1 and GST-2 might be one of the molecular entities responsible for transporting dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and thyroid hormones involved in the regulation of sex steroid transportation and spermatogenesis in the gonad.
Epidermal FABP (FABP5) regulates keratinocyte differentiation by 13(S)-HODE-mediated activation of the NF-ÎşB signaling pathway.
