"Drug Transporters" provides an overview of the most important transporter families for drug therapy. Each chapter is dedicated to a different transporter family, discussing tissue expression, substrates, inhibitors, knock-out mouse models and clinical studies.

It is increasingly recognized that various transporter proteins are expressed throughout the body and determine absorption, tissue distribution, biliary and renal elimination of endogenous compounds and drugs and drug effects. This book will give an overview on the transporter families which are most important for drug therapy. Most chapters will focus on one transporter family highlighting tissue expression, substrates, inhibitors, knock-out mouse models and clinical studies.
