Figure 15.2. Location of xenobiotic transporters in selected barrier and excretory tissues. For simplicity, the tissues are arranged along a structure representing the vascular space. Arrows indicated direction of transport under normal conditions. This figure is not meant to be comprehensive not all transporters expressed in a tissue are shown. Transporters driven by ATP pump substrates out of cells (efflux). Other transporters are capable of supporting substrate uptake or efflux. Which of these processes predominates depends on available driving forces—for example, substrate concentration gradient and the capability to couple transport to sources of potential energy.
