abstract：:Organic anion transporting polypeptides (Oatp) mediate the transport of a wide variety of amphipathic organic substrates. Rat Oatp1b2 and human OATP1B3 are members of a liver-specific subfamily of Oatps/OATPs. We investigated whether prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) regulated Oatp1b2 and OATP1B3 gene expression...
