Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Human multidrug and toxin extrusion member 2 (MATE2-K, SLC47A2) plays an important role in the renal elimination of various clinical drugs including the antidiabetic drug metformin. The goal of this study was to characterize genetic variants of MATE2-K and determine their association with the pharmacokinetics of metformin.
