Gene Name MATE1
Uniprot ID S47A1_HUMAN
KEGG Pathway hsa:55244
Protein Family Multi antimicrobial extrusion (MATE) (TC 2.A.66.1) family
Protein Function
Solute transporter for tetraethylammonium (TEA), 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP), cimetidine, N-methylnicotinamide (NMN), metformin, creatinine, guanidine, procainamide, topotecan, estrone sulfate, acyclovir, ganciclovir and also the zwitterionic cephalosporin, cephalexin and cephradin. Seems to also play a role in the uptake of oxaliplatin (a new platinum anticancer agent). Able to transport paraquat (PQ or N,N-dimethyl-4-4'-bipiridinium); a widely used herbicid. Responsible for the secretion of cationic drugs across the brush border membranes.

      Mechanism Description
  • Decreased clearance of Methylnaltrexone due to the transporter inhibition by Risdiplam 

Recommended Action
      Management Coadministration of risdiplam with drugs that are substrates of MATE1 and/or MATE2K should generally be avoided. However, if concomitant use is unavoidable, monitor for drug-related toxicities and consider dosage reduction of the MATE1 or MATE2K substrate (based in the labeling of that drug) as needed.
