Kinetic parameters associated with acyclovir and probe substrate transport by OAT1 and OAT3

Transport efficiency was determined by dividing the Jmax value by the Km value. Kinetics of OAT1- and OAT3-mediated acyclovir transport and probe substrate transport were conducted on the same day using cells of the same passage. n = 1 passage.
