Distribution of Rat Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide-E (oatp-E) in the Rat Eye

Abstract

Results from the present study revealed that rat oatp-E is localized mainly to the corneal epithelium, ciliary body, iris, and retina. Furthermore, the findings appear to suggest that transport of T3 in the RPE may have a functional role for organic anion (i.e., thyroid hormone) transport in the rat eye.
