Table 1. Transport kinetic parameters of Oatp4c1-mediated E3S transport at pH 4.5, 5.5 and 7.4 (mean ± S.E.).
pH 4.5 | pH 5.5 | pH 7.4 | |
Tmax [(pmol/min )/mg protein] | 612.6±109.7* | 484. 0±50.4*** | 129.3±11.0** |
S50 [µM] | 60.5±22.7 | 49.3±8.8 | 21.5±3.6 |
n, Hill Coefficient | 1.1±0.2 | 1.5±0.2 | 2.6±1.0 |
The parameters were estimated by fitting a sigmoid-Emax model to the data. Statistical analysis was performed by two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc test for all pairwise comparisons. *, **, *** p<0.05 indicate significant differences between pH 4.5 and 5.5, pH 4.5 and 7.4, and pH 5.5 and 7.4, respectively.
