Characterization of the Human OATP-C (SLC21A6) Gene Promoter and Regulation of Liver-specific OATP Genes by Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1α
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
OATP-C (SLC21A6) is the predominant Na(+)-independent uptake system for bile salts and bilirubin of human liver and is expressed exclusively at the basolateral (sinusoidal) hepatocyte membrane. To investigate the basis of liver-specific expression of OATP-C, we studied promoter function in the two hepatocyte-derived cell lines HepG2 and Huh7 and in nonhepatic HeLa cells. OATP-C promoter constructs containing from...
