Abstract excerpt
The breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) is a maternally-facing efflux transporter that regulates the placental disposition of chemicals. Transcription factors and gene variants are important regulatory factors that influence transporter expression. In this study, we sought to identify the genetic and transcriptional mechanisms underlying the interindividual expression of BCRP mRNA and protein across 137...
