Abstract excerpt
Multidrug resistance 3 (MDR3) is present on the canalicular membrane of the hepatocyte and plays an important role in protecting the liver from bile acids. In this study, we characterized the transcriptional effects of four common haplotypes and four polymorphic variants in the promoter region of MDR3 that were identified in 126 DNA samples from Koreans. We measured the luciferase activities of the four MDR3...
