Abstract excerpt
Human organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1/SLC22A1) plays important roles in the hepatic uptake of cationic drugs. The functional characteristics of this transporter have been well evaluated, but molecular information regarding transcriptional regulation is limited. In the present study, therefore, we examined the gene regulation of OCT1 gene focusing on basal core expression. An approximately 2.5-kb fragment of...
