Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to explore the role of the organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1A2, which is encoded by SLCO1A2, in the cellular uptake of the Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib, and the relationship between SLCO1A2 polymorphisms and the pharmacokinetics of imatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Imatinib uptake was significantly enhanced in OATP1A2-transfected...
