Hepatobiliary Transport in Health and Disease / / ed. by Dieter Häussinger, Ralf Kubitz, Verena Keitel.

One major function of the liver is the uptake of endo- and xenobiotics from the bloodstream and their excretion into bile. The transport systems involved in hepatobiliary transport have been recently cloned and characterized at the molecular level and it is becoming clear that mutations and polymorp...
