    text
  • localized in intracellular vesicular structures
  • basic FUNCTION
  • play important roles in the renal tubular secretion of cationic drugs
  • able to transport tetraethylammonium (TEA) utilizing an oppositely directed H+ gradient as a driving force
  • play crucial roles in the renal handling of cationic drugs, such as cimetidine, metformin and oxaliplatin
  • function together as a detoxication system, by mediating the tubular secretion of intracellular ionic compounds across the brush-border membranes of the kidney
  • kidney-specific H+/organic cation antiporter that is responsible for the tubular secretion of cationic drugs across the brush border membranes
  • responsible for the final step in the excretion of metabolic waste and xenobiotic organic cations in the kidney and liver through electroneutral exchange of H(+)
