Since the cloning of the first membrane transporter, our understanding of the role of transporters in clinical drug disposition and response has grown enormously. In parallel, large-scale genome-wide variation studies and the emerging field of pharmacogenomics have ushered in a new understanding of variations in drug response. At the crossroads of pharmacogenomics and transporter biology is the National Institutes of Health-funded Pharmacogenomics of Membrane Transporters (PMT) project, centered at the University of California, San Francisco.
自从克隆出第一个膜转运蛋白以来,我们对转运蛋白在临床药物处置和反应中的作用的理解已经有了巨大的发展。与此同时,大规模的全基因组变异研究和新兴的药物基因组学领域也使我们对药物反应的变异有了新的认识。药物基因组学和转运蛋白生物学的交汇点是美国国立卫生研究院资助的膜转运蛋白(PMT)项目,该项目以加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校为中心。
