ciPTEC — Renal Transporter Model
ciPTEC (conditionally immortalised proximal tubule epithelial cells) are human kidney-derived cells expressing endogenous renal transporters in a physiologically relevant polarised epithelial monolayer.
Unlike overexpression systems, ciPTEC express transporters at physiological ratios — making them the preferred model for renal DDI studies and nephrotoxicity screening where endogenous transporter expression is critical.
- OAT1 (SLC22A6) — organic anion uptake
- OAT3 (SLC22A8) — organic anion uptake
- OCT2 (SLC22A2) — organic cation uptake
- MATE1 (SLC47A1) — organic cation efflux
- MATE2-K (SLC47A2) — organic cation efflux
- P-gp (ABCB1) — ABC efflux transporter

Frequently Asked Questions
Which transporters must be tested for regulatory submissions?
FDA and EMA require DDI assessment for: P-gp, BCRP (efflux); OAT1, OAT3, OCT2 (renal uptake); MATE1, MATE2-K (renal efflux); OCT1 (hepatic uptake); OATP1B1, OATP1B3 (hepatic uptake). SeamlessBio supplies vesicle kits and ciPTEC covering the full panel.
Are the kits validated for regulatory submissions?
Yes — Cell4Pharma ABC Transporter Vesicle Kits are validated for DDI studies per FDA Drug Interaction Guidance (2020), EMA DDI Guideline (2012) and ICH M12. Full validation package on request.
What is ciPTEC and why use it for renal DDI?
ciPTEC are human kidney proximal tubule cells expressing OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, MATE1, MATE2-K and P-gp at endogenous levels in a polarised epithelial monolayer — the physiologically relevant model for renal transporter DDI studies and nephrotoxicity screening.
Is SeamlessBio the only supplier in DACH?
Yes — SeamlessBio is the exclusive DACH distributor for Cell4Pharma ABC Transporter Vesicle Kits and ciPTEC cell lines. German-language support, EU lead times, no import delays.
