ADME Research Domain: Metabolism; Absorption; Excretion
Short Description
An exclusive renal efflux transport model designed for highly refined renal excretion DDI evaluations.
Brand
Vesitra™
Development Stage
ADME
ADME Research Domain
Metabolism; Absorption; Excretion
Description
As a highly kidney-specific splice variant, MATE2-K's role in tubular secretion is highly scrutinized by regulators. This cell line provides a pure apical efflux environment free from hepatic background interference, dramatically simplifying the interpretation of complex DDI data.
Features
1. High subtype specificity eliminating MATE1 interference to focus on exclusive MATE2-K kinetics. 2. Overcomes the technical bottleneck of MATE2-K membrane protein degradation, ensuring durable and robust expression.
Applications
Mandatory pre-IND DDI screening; in vitro confirmation of new drug renal secretion mechanisms.

Background
MATE2-K (SLC47A2) is a kidney-specific efflux transporter localized to the apical membrane of proximal tubules. Working synergistically with OCT2 and MATE1, it drives the final step of urinary excretion for organic cations. Industry standards typically involve the concurrent evaluation of MATE2-K alongside OCT2 and MATE1 to assess holistic renal DDI risks.

Sterility Testing
Creative Biolabs provides sterility testing in accordance with USP and EP regulations. All of our sterility testing is performed in an isolator or clean room environments. The cell line has been screened using the membrane filtration testing methods to confirm the absence of aerobic, anaerobic and fungi microorganisms.
Identity Testing
Identity testing is required for newly established cell lines. Isoenzyme analysis is used to confirm the identity of the species of a cell line. Alternative methods for identity testing include DNA fingerprinting, STR analysis and karyology.
Virological Safety Testing
A broad range of viruses is susceptible to affecting human cell lines. We can provide in vivo/vitro virus saftey assays by utilizing various animal systems. These viruses include: adventitious viruses, bovine viruses, human and simian viruses, porcine viruses, retrovirus and rodent viruses.
Genetic Stability Testing
We perform cell genetic stability studies under ICH guidelines. We can provide guidance on the appropriate testing program upon your requirements.
Mycoplasma Testing
The cell line has been screened using the luciferase based mycoplasma detection kit to confirm the absence of mycoplasma species.
Shipping
Dry Ice
Storage
Frozen cells should be stored in a liquid nitrogen tank (-150°C~-190°C). Once reconstituted, the cells may be used for up to five days if properly stored at 2°C - 8°C in the buffer provided.
Handling Notes
Frozen cells should be thawed immediately upon receipt and grown according to handling procedure to ensure cell viability and proper assay performance. Note: Do not freeze the cells upon receipt as it may result in irreversible damage to the cell line. Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee cell viability if the cells are not thawed immediately upon receipt and grown according to handling procedure.
Warnings
Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles
Research Use Only
For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
Quality Control
All of our stable cell lines meet the highest quality standards and have been confirmed to be pathogen-free.
