Identification of functional amino acid residues involved in polyamine and agmatine transport by human organic cation transporter 2.

Identification of functional amino acid residues involved in polyamine and agmatine transport by human organic cation transporter 2.

Polyamine (putrescine, spermidine and spermine) and agmatine uptake by the human organic cation transporter 2 (hOCT2) was studied using HEK293 cells transfected with pCMV6-XL4/hOCT2. The Km values for putrescine and spermidine were 7.50 and 6.76 mM, and the Vmax values were 4.71 and 2.34 nmol/min/mg...
