| Product description: | Oct1/2 are polyspecific organic cation transporters in the liver, kidney, intestine, and other organs. They are critical for elimination of many endogenous small organic cations as well as a wide array of drugs and environmental toxins. Useful for studies of drug transport in the liver, intestine and kidneys. OCT1 and OCT2 determine renal secretion of small organic cations. |
| Alternate name: | SLC22A1/2, Solute Carrier Family 22 Member 1/2, Organic Cation Transporter 1/2 |
| Conditional: | No |
| Genetic background: | The model was created through sequential targeting of the Slc22a1 and Slc22a2 genes in 129/Ola-derived E14 ES cells and injecting the targeted cells into C57BL/6 blastocysts. Resultant chimeras were backcrossed to FVB/N for seven generations |

| Additional notes: | Useful for studies of drug transport in the liver, intestine and kidneys. OCT1 and OCT2 determine renal secretion of small organic cations. The Oct1/2 mouse was developed in the laboratory of Alfred Schinkel of the Netherlands Cancer Institute |
