Kinetic parameters of estrone-3-sulfate transport by wild-type OATP2B1 and TM1 mutants

Uptake of ES was measured at concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 50 μM for wild-type OATP2B1 and mutants at 37°C at a 1-minute interval and normalized with cell surface expression of the transporter. Transporter kinetic parameters were determined with nonlinear regression of Michaelis-Menten equation incorporated in GraphPad Prism 5. The results shown are means ± S.D. (n = 3).
