Efflux proteins at the blood–brain barrier: review and bioinformatics analysis
8 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
1. Efflux proteins at the blood-brain barrier provide a mechanism for export of waste products of normal metabolism from the brain and help to maintain brain homeostasis. They also prevent entry into the brain of a wide range of potentially harmful compounds such as drugs and xenobiotics. 2.
