Because the Glc-Pts reported here bear the chelating DACH ligand, we investigated the potential of 2d and 5d to undergo translocation via OCT2 (Figure 3B), which is a transporter overexpressed in certain types of cancer cells and tumor samples from patients (Zhang et al., 2006; Burger et al., 2010). This evidence concerns the gene DACH1 and neoplasm.
