Inherited disorders of transport in the liver.
There has been a recent explosion in our understanding of hepatic transport processes. Much of this has resulted from the investigation of human diseases involving the liver and the use of animal models. The physiological roles of many of these transporters have been well characterised previously but have, until now, been resistant to molecular cloning.
