Table 1. Kinetics of MPP+ and spermidine transport in OCT-expressing oocytes.
Data are from the experiments shown in Fig. 2B and 2C. Dose-response uptake values were fitted to Equation 1 to estimate the apparent affinity constants (K0.5) and highest rates (Jmax) of MPP+ and spermidine carrier-dependent transport, plus a non-mediated, diffusive component (Kd). The standard error of the fits is shown.
