What Are the Challenges in Studying Transport Proteins in Toxicology?
Studying transport proteins in toxicology poses several challenges. The complexity of transport mechanisms, redundancy among transporters, and species-specific differences can complicate the interpretation of data. Moreover, the dynamic regulation of transporter expression and activity in response to environmental and physiological changes further adds to the complexity. Despite these challenges, advances in molecular biology and bioinformatics are providing new tools and insights into the role of transport proteins in toxicology.
