Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology

Fromm, Martin F.; Kim, Richard B.

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.
