Abstract excerpt
The immunosuppressive drug tacrolimus requires strict therapeutic monitoring due to its narrow therapeutic index and high interindividual variability. Organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3 (OATP1B3) is a human hepatocyte transporter involved in the hepatobiliary elimination of diverse endogenous and exogenous substances. Genetic variations within the solute carrier (SLCO) 1B3 gene that encodes OATP1B3 may...
