2.A.1.19.1
The basolateral multivalent, potential-sensitive, organic cation (tetramethyl-ammonium; N'-methylnicotinamide; cationic drugs, xenobiotics, vitamins, neuro-transmitters, etc.) transporter (uni-porter)-1, Oct1.  Cysteyl residues essential for transport and substrate binding have been identified (Sturm et al. 2007). Subtype-specific affinity of rat organic cation transporters rOCT1 and rOCT2 for corticosterone depends on three amino acids within the substrate binding region (Gorboulev et al. 2005). Differences in metformin and thiamine uptake between human and mouse Oct1 transporters have been demonstrated (Meyer et al. 2020).
