Abstract excerpt
Evidence is accumulating to strongly suggest that drug transporters are one of the determining factors governing the pharmacokinetic profile of drugs. To date, a variety of drug transporters have been cloned and classified as solute carriers and ATP-binding cassette transporters. Such drug transporters are expressed in various tissues such as the intestine, brain, liver, and kidney, and play critical roles in the...
