Apparent Km values of MPP+ and TEA+ transport mediated by rOCT1 wild-type and rOCT1 mutants

Initial uptake rates of nine different concentrations radioactively traced MPP+ or TEA+ were measured at 37°C in stably transfected HEK293 cells and apparent Km values were determined by fitting the Hill equation to data of individual experiments. Mean values ± S.D. of three or four separate experiments are shown. The compiled uptake measurements and the calculated Hill coefficients are shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
