transporter antibody

Transporters, also known as carrier proteins, are one of the two basic types of membrane transport proteins. Transporters make it possible for a large number of polar and non-polar water-soluble substances (e.g. nutrients and drugs) pass through membranes specifically by active or passive transport. Transporter-conscious drug design is an excellent method of delivering drugs to pharmaceutical target organs and provides additional advantages in absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion (ADME) behaviors. Besides, such drug compounds can also control adverse effects caused by off-targets and drug-drug interactions and, consequently, have better performance in clinical trials.
