Abstract

We have cloned a murine member of the organic-anion-transporting polypeptide (Oatp) family of membrane-transport proteins from mouse liver. The cloned cDNA insert of 2783 bp with an open reading frame of 2011 bp codes for a 12-transmembrane 670-amino-acid protein with highest amino acid identity with the rat Oatp1. When expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes, the mouse Oatp exhibited the same substrate specificity as the rat Oatp1. Besides the common Oatp substrates bromosulphophthalein, taurocholate, oestrone 3-sulphate and ouabain, the new mouse Oatp also mediates transport of the Oatp1-specific magnetic-resonance-imaging agent gadoxetate. The Oatp2-specific cardiac glycoside digoxin, however, is not transported. Kinetic analyses performed for taurocholate and oestrone 3-sulphate revealed apparent K(m) values of 12 microM and 5 microM respectively. Northern-blot analysis demonstrated a predominant expression in the liver with an additional moderate expression in the kidney. Taken together, the amino acid identity, the functional characteristics and the tissue distribution suggest that we have isolated the murine orthologue of the rat Oatp1, and consequently the identified protein will be called Oatp1. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization, the murine Oatp1 gene was mapped to chromosome XA3-A5.
