Abstract excerpt
Human organic cation transporter 2 (hOCT2) is thought to play a critical role in the uptake, pharmacological effects and/or adverse effects of many cationic clinical therapeutics and xenobiotics. Moreover, genetic variations in hOCT2 gene, SLC22A2, are increasingly being recognized as a possible mechanism that can explain individual variation in drug response. To screen for variations in this gene, SLC22A2 was...
