The equivalent arginine-serine network in Rattus norvegicus OAT1 has been implicated in gating dynamics and the allosteric modulation of OAT1 by chloride 25 , with chloride binding to R466 rOAT1 in the inward-facing conformation stabilising this network
In a receptor-binding assay the C18 di-acid was also shown to have the highest affinity shift when albumin was added, indicating a strong albumin affinity (53)
Bottom Line: Personally, I was excited by the wide-ranging positive signals for GLP-1 drugs uncovered by this discovery analysis
Next Steps States may pass laws requiring this coverage for insured plans, but for now employers that voluntarily cover GLP-1 drugs may wish to track the number of employees using the benefit and the annual cost
A familiar culprit This work builds on recent significant work from the Birsoy lab
