Renal proximal tubule cells are particularly sensitive to CisPt accumulation by its continued import from the influx transporters Oct2 (Slc22a2) and Ctr1 (Slc31a1), which can outpace CisPt elimination, overwhelm biochemical defenses and repair systems, and eventually lead to cell death and renal failure in vivo [79]. The gene discussed is SLC31A1; the disease is acute kidney injury.
