Abstract excerpt
A liver-specific transporter organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1, also known as OATP-C) is encoded by SLCO1B1 and mediates uptake of various endogenous and exogenous compounds from blood into hepatocytes. In this study, 15 SLCO1B1 exons (including non-coding exon 1) and their flanking introns were comprehensively screened for genetic variations in 177 Japanese subjects. Sixty-two genetic...
