Determination of substrates and inhibitors of zebrafish Oatp1d1
Shown is a kinetic analysis of LY transport by HEK293/Oatp1d1-overexpressing cells in the absence of an interactor (control) and in the presence of an interactor (at a concentration equal to its Ki value shown in Table I). In all cases, the LY uptake followed Michaelis-Menten type kinetics, where a Km decrease and no change in the transport rate (Vm) in the presence of interactor indicates competitive inhibition (designated S for substrates); Km decrease and Vm decrease indicates non-competitive inhibition; and finally, no change in Km and a Vm decrease indicates uncompetitive inhibition (inhibitors are designated with “I”). Kinetic parameters of LY uptake are given as apparent Km (Km(app)) (μm), apparent Vm (Vm(app)) (nmol of LY/mg of protein/min), and 95% confidence intervals for each. Uptake was measured after a 15-min incubation at 37 °C. Data are mean ± S.E. from triplicate determinations.
