Abstract:
A method of screening a candidate compound for susceptibility to biliary excretion by a hepatocyte transport protein. In some embodiments the method can comprise inhibiting expression of the transport protein. Expression of the transport protein can be inhibited through introduction of a RNA having a sequence corresponding to a coding strand of the gene encoding the transport protein into the hepatocyte.
