Genetic Polymorphisms of OATP Transporters and Their Impact on Intestinal Absorption and Hepatic Disposition of Drugs
20 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
There is convincing evidence that many organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) transporters influence the pharmacokinetics and pharmacological efficacy of their substrate drugs. Each OATP family member has a unique combination of tissue distribution, substrate specificity and mechanisms of gene expression. Among them, OATP1B1, OATP1B3 and OATP2B1 have been considered as critical molecular determinants of...
