SLCO1B1

Gastrointestinal & Hepatic System · Phase I & Phase II Xenobiotic Detoxification

Why can a liver transporter such as SLCO1B1 matter for medicines?

SLCO1B1 makes OATP1B1, which brings selected compounds from blood into liver cells. Differences in transport can influence drug handling, so medication-specific interpretation matters more than a general label of good or bad metabolism.
