Is there any MRP4 inducers?

01 January 2015 1 10K Report

I want to induce MRP4 in different cell lines by using some specific inducing agents. Does anybody know about any specific inducing agents for MRP4?

Edvinas Stankunas

To my mind, you should consult the paper: ''Induction of hepatic transporters multidrug resistance-associated proteins (Mrp) 3 and 4 by clofibrate is regulated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha'' (PMID: 20405259)
