Renal organic anion transport systems play an important role in the elimination of drugs, toxic compounds, and their metabolites, many of which are potentially harmful to the body. The renal proximal tubule is the primary site of carrier-mediated transport from blood to urine of a wide variety of anionic substrates. Recent studies have shown that organic anion secretion in renal proximal tubule is mediated by distinct sodium-dependent and sodium-independent transport systems. Knowledge of the molecular identity of these transporters and their substrate specificity has increased considerably in the past few years by cloning of various carrier proteins. However, a number of fundamental questions still have to be answered to elucidate the participation of the cloned transporters in the overall tubular secretion of anionic xenobiotics. This review summarizes the latest knowledge on molecular and pharmacological properties of renal organic anion transporters and homologs, with special reference to their nephron and plasma membrane localization, transport characteristics, and substrate and inhibitor specificity. A number of the recently cloned transporters, such as the p-aminohippurate/dicarboxylate exchanger OAT1, the anion/sulfate exchanger SAT1, the peptide transporters PEPT1 and PEPT2, and the nucleoside transporters CNT1 and CNT2, are key proteins in organic anion handling that possess the same characteristics as has been predicted from previous physiological studies. The role of other cloned transporters, such as MRP1, MRP2, OATP1, OAT-K1, and OAT-K2, is still poorly characterized, whereas the only information that is available on the homologs OAT2, OAT3, OATP3, and MRP3-6 is that they are expressed in the kidney, but their localization, not to mention their function, remains to be elucidated.
