The human gene SLC22A2 encodes the organic cation transporter OCT2. It is expressed in a variety of tissues, especially the kidney and placenta. OCT2 can mediate the reversible transport of a broad array of organic cations with various structures and molecular weights including the model compounds 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP), tetraethylammonium (TEA), N-1-methylnicotinamide (NMN) and 4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-N-methylpyridinium (Gorboulev et al. 1997). Pharmaceuticals that up-regulate OCT2 in the kidney can increase the renal excretion of cationic drugs. The transport activity of OCT2 was decreased upon co-expression of regulatory solute carrier protein family 1 member 1 (RSC1A1, aka RS1). RSC1A1 exhibits glucose-dependent, short-term inhibition of OCT2 by inhibiting the release of vesicles from the trans-Golgi network (Veyhl et al. 2006).
