Abstract
Polyspecific transport systems in the kidney mediate the excretion and reabsorption of organic cations. Electrogenic import systems and elec troneutral export systems in the basolateral and luminal plasma membra nes of proximal renal tubules are involved. Two subtypes of electrogen ic import systems have been cloned from vats and humans and functional ly characterized.
