  • a Theoretical m/z value of doubly charged ions of intact peptide (Q1) assumed as precursor ions and singly charged fragment ions derived from precursor ion indicated as Q3.1, Q3.2, and Q3.3.

  • b There is a difference of one amino acid in the MATE1 peptide between species (human versus monkey: GGPEATLEVR versus GGPEATLELR). The expression level of cMATE1 was calculated by using human MATE1 standard.

  • c The labeling of Arg (R) or Lys (K) was done by introducing the stable isotope ([13C] or [15N]).
