NPT1-Mediated p-Aminohippuric Acid Transport
2026-08-27
The 2000 reference study provided the first molecular evidence that human renal apical NPT1 transports p-aminohippuric acid (PAH), resolving an important gap in the model of organic anion secretion. Using radiotracer uptake in hNPT1-transfected HEK293 cells, the authors also identified uric acid, benzylpenicillin, faropenem, and estradiol-17β-glucuronide as accepted substrates, linking NPT1 to renal handling of endogenous compounds and β-lactam drugs.
