Unconjugated BS are transported by the multispecific ATP- and [Na.sup.+]-independent basolateral uptake transporters, organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1, also termed OATP-C, OATP2, SLC21A6, or LST-1, encoded by SLCO1B1), and 1B3 (OATP1B3, synonyms OATP8, SLC21A8, or LST3, encoded by SLCO1B3) [4, 7, 8].
Likewise, FXR can directly transactivate the ABCC2, ABCB4, and SLCO1B3 genes [36, 37].

However, the association was found in SNPs of another gene in the same gene family, SLCO1B3 (rs2117032, P = 4.7 X [10.sup.-8]).
In addition, the effects of SLCO1B1 or other transporter genes within the same chromosome location such as SLCO1B3, as well as X-linked G6PD, were confirmed.
2007), we demonstrated that transfection of OATP1B1 (SLCO1B1) or OATP1B3 (SLCO1B3) cDNA into HEK293 cells increased their sensitivity to, and their accumulation of, microcystin-LR and, consequently, induced apoptosis in those cells.
