Abstract excerpt
Human organic cation transporter 1 (hOCT1) is expressed primarily in hepatocytes and mediate the electrogenic transport of various endogenous and exogenous compounds, including clinically important drugs. Genetic polymorphisms in the gene coding for hOCT1, SLC22A1, are increasingly being recognized as a possible mechanism explaining the variable response of individual patients to clinical drugs which are...
