Abstract excerpt
Organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) superfamily member 2B1 (OATP2B1) mediates the uptake of steroid hormone precursors and selected drugs in the placenta, liver, mammary gland, brain, and intestine. This action is modulated by sulfhydryl reagents. Common to all OATPs is a large extracellular loop between transmembrane domains IX and X with 10 conserved cysteines. To elucidate the structure-function...
