Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The liver is the chemical laboratory of living beings. Many metabolites are exported out of cells into the bloodstream or eliminated via the biliary pathway, others are transported between different cell compartments by transmembrane proteins. Mutations of these proteins cause genetic diseases with hepatic and extrahepatic manifestations. In this Special Issue, we aim to underline the functions of the protein transporters in physiological and pathological conditions and their role in drug resistance, aging, and energetic metabolism.
