For several decades, p-aminohippurate (PAH) has served as a model substrate to study the renal excretion of amphiphilic organic anions [1]. PAH is freely filtered in the glomeruli and also efficiently secreted in the proximal tubules. In all species investigated so far, the uptake of PAH across the basolateral membrane of proximal tubule cells occurs by exchange with intracellular α-ketoglutarate through a PAH/ α-ketoglutarate antiporter [1–3]. The dicarboxylate α-ketoglutarate is recycled by a Na +-coupled transport mechanism and the Na +-ions are pumped out of the cell by the Na +, K+-ATPase. Overall, the uptake of one PAH molecule requires the expenditure of one ATP molecule. Detailed investigations on substrate specificity revealed that the PAH transporter in the basolateral membrane of rat proximal tubule cells accepts a large variety of amphiphilic anions, uncharged compounds and even some organic cations [4]. The specificities of three basolateral organic anion transporters (PAH/ α-ketoglutarate antiporter, Na +-dicarboxylate symporter, sulfate/anion antiporter) and of the organic cation transporter localized in the same membrane partially overlap, ensuring excretion of most water-soluble xenobiotics with the urine. The proteins mediating PAH/ α-ketoglutarate antiport at the basolateral membrane of rat [5, 6] and winter flounder [7] proximal tubule cells have recently been identified by an expression cloning strategy using Xenopus laevisoocytes. The cloned renal organic anion transporters, termed OAT1/ROAT1 for rat and fROAT for flounder, are between 551 and 562 amino acids long with 12 putative transmembrane domains. Rat and flounder ROATs show an amino acid identity of 47% and are related to the organic cation transporters, OCT1 and OCT2 [8]. Following expression of cRNA derived from rat OAT1/ROAT1 and flounder fROAT in X. laevisoocytes, a probenecid-inhibitable, saturable uptake of PAH could be demonstrated [5–7]. PAH uptake was cis-inhibited by α-ketoglutarate and glutarate in the bath, and trans-stimulated by these dicarboxylates loaded previously into the oocytes, indicating that OAT1/ROAT1 and fROAT most likely represent the PAH/ α-ketoglutarate antiporter of the basolateral membrane of proximal tubule cells. In line with this assumption is the broad substrate specificity: besides PAH and α-ketoglutarate, OAT1 transported labeled methotrexate, cAMP, cGMP, PGE 2, and urate [5]. Direct experimental evidence is lacking for the presence of a PAH/α-ketoglutarate antiporter in the basolateral membrane of human renal proximal tubule cells. However, given the evolutionary conservation of PAH/ α-ketoglutarate antiport in the basolateral membrane, we assumed that a human homologue to OAT1/ROAT1 and fROAT exists. Here we report the PCR cloning of hROAT1 1, which is highly homologous to rat OAT1/ROAT1. Basic Renal Research
