Understand if your compound and/or metabolite is a substrate for the human efflux transporters, MRP2, MRP3 or MRP4.
MRP efflux transporter substrate identification is within our portfolio of in vitro drug transporter services. Cyprotex deliver consistent, high quality data with the flexibility to adapt protocols based on specific customer requirements.
Membrane transporters can have clinically relevant effects on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a drug in various organs and tissues by controlling its absorption, distribution and elimination.
