Abstract
We describe the cloning, functional characterization and tissue localization of a novel membrane transporter of the OATP/Oatp-gene family obtained from liver and kidney of cattle (Bos taurus). The carrier protein exhibits highest sequence identity to the human OATP1A2 (previously called OATP-A) and is, therefore, named bovine Oatp1a2. Bovine Oatp1a2 received the gene symbol Slco1a2 that is identical to the SLC classification of human OATP1A2 (SLCO1A2, previously called SLC21A3) and is likely an orthologue of the human gene. Two different full-length bOatp1a2 cDNAs of 2316-bp and 3504-bp were obtained and encoded for a 666 amino acid membrane protein, which contains twelve putative transmembrane spanning domains. Bovine Oatp1a2 expression was detected in liver, kidney, brain and adrenal gland. Uptake studies in cRNA-injected oocytes demonstrated that bOatp1a2 transports estrone-3-sulfate and taurocholate, with K-m values of 9.6 muM and 51 muM, respectively, and estradiol-17beta-glucuronide. However, the structurally-related heart glycosides ouabain (I muM) and digoxin (I muM) are neither transported by bovine Oatpla2 nor by human OATP1A2. We conclude that based on the tested substrates bovine Oatpla2 shows functional homology to human OATP1A2. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
