Abstract excerpt
Since porphyrins are regarded as endogenous substrates for the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter ABCG2, it is hypothesized that functional impairment owing to genetic polymorphisms or inhibition of ABCG2 by drugs may result in a disruption of cellular porphyrin homeostasis. In the present st...
