Both organic anions and xenobiotics in the blood use the same organic anion transporters (OATs) for entry into proximal tubule cells and they then exit these cells through ATP dependent ABCC2 (MRP2) and ABCC4 (MRP4), cassette transporters located at the luminal membrane of the cells (Sekine et al.
we have great separation for the following ionic and organic residues (Figure 3): * Anions by AS22 separate fluoride, formate, acetate, MSA, chloride, nitrite, bromide, nitrate, phosphate, sulfate, succinic, malic, maliec, glutaric and adipic acids.
Some researchers had suggested that anions, which have one or more extra electrons in comparison with a neutral molecule, might be too fragile to exist for long periods.
