Caco ‐2 Cells – Expression, Regulation and Function of Drug Transporters Compared To Human Jejunal Tissue

ConclusionDifferences in transporter expression in Caco‐2 cells compared to jejunal tissue, as well as expression dependence on culture time must be considered in in vitro studies to avoid under‐ or overestimation of certain transporters. The Caco‐2 cell model is not suitable for the evaluation of DDIs caused by transporter induction. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
