Supplemental Table 1. RNA and protein expression levels of SLC22A1 (OCT1), SLC22A3 (OCT3), SLC6A4 (SERT) and AOC1 (DAO). Expression levels of the RNA and the protein localization data were extracted from the human tissue samples available in the Human Protein Atlas (http://www.proteinatlas.org/, accessed on July 25, 2015) [1,2]. The RNA expression levels were obtained from RNA sequencing and the values are expressed as FPKM (Fragments Per Kilobase of transcript per Million mapped reads). The higher the FPKM value, the higher the expression levels. The expression levels of the genes in four different sections of the intestinal tissues that are available in Human Protein Atlas were obtained and entered in this table. Expression levels of the genes in kidney and liver were entered for comparison purposes. In general, publications arbitrarily define expression threshold as FPKM > 0 to identify expressed transcript. Protein expression levels were determined using antibody staining and the intensity were entered in the table below as annotated in the Human Protein Atlas. The different cell types of each tissues are explained in this site http://www.proteinatlas.org/learn/dictionary.
