Multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2/ABCC2) is predominantly expressed in the liver canalicular membrane and plays an important role in the biliary excretion of organic anions including glucuronide and glutathione conjugates. The purpose of this study is to construct a new evaluation system for human MRP2 by expressing human MRP2 in Eisai hyperbilirubinemic rat (EHBR) liver, the rat Mrp2 function of which is hereditarily defective.
