Organic anion-transporting polypeptides: a novel approach for cancer therapy
29 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
Organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATPs) encoded by the SLCO genes constitute an important transporter superfamily that mediates transmembrane transport of various clinical drugs and endogenous nutrients. Eleven human OATPs with different transport functions are expressed in various tissues. Bile acids, steroid hormone conjugates, prostaglandins, testosterone and thyroid hormones that promote cell...
