Organic anion transporters (OATs) of the SLC22 family have crucial roles in the transport of organic anions, including metabolites and therapeutic drugs, and in transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions. In the kidneys, OATs facilitate the elimination of metabolic waste products and xenobiotics. However, their transport activities can lead to the accumulation of certain toxic compounds within cells, causing kidney damage.
