Abstract Solute carrier kidney transporter (SLC) protein models are essential for determining the renal clearance of drugs, environmental compounds, and endogenous molecules. However, to date there is a lack of preclinical cell- based models; many current models do not express critical SLC proteins and those that do are not of mature adult kidney tissue origin. We created three different hTERT-immortalized human primary renal proximal tubule epithelial cells (RPTEC) that stably express the OAT1, OCT2, and OAT3 proteins. We then tested the ability of these cells to intracellularly convey known SLC protein substrates.
