The multispecific organic anion transporters, OAT1 (SLC22A6) and OAT3 (SLC22A8), the
main kidney elimination pathways for many common drugs, are often considered to have
largely-redundant roles. However, whereas examination of metabolomics data from Oat-
knockout mice (Oat1 and Oat3KO) revealed considerable overlap, over a hundred
metabolites were increased in the plasma of one or the other of these knockout mice. Many
of these relatively unique metabolites are components of distinct biochemical and signaling …
