Transport measurements in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Xenopus laevis oocytes were injected with cRNA coding for human SLC10A4, SERT, DAT, or NTCP as well as mouse Oct1. Uptake of [³H]serotonin, [³H]histamine, [³H]PREGS, [³H]dopamine, [³H]DHEAS, or [³H]taurocholic acid, each at 1 µM, was measured over a time period of 10–60 min as indicated in the presence of sodium chloride in the transport buffer. SERT, Oct1, and DAT served as controls for the transport of [³H]serotonin, [³H]histamine, and [³H]dopamine, respectively. NTCP was the reference carrier for PREGS, DHEAS and taurocholic acid. Afterwards, the oocytes were washed with ice-cold transport buffer, lysed and subjected to scintillation counting. The values represent mean ± SD of one representative experiment with n = 10 oocytes each. *Significantly different from control with p < 0.001.
