Overview
Features
- This ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters in Obesity - Drug Targets for Long Term Chronic Conditions project at Robert Gordon University aims to (i) map the expression of ATP-binding cassette drug and lipid transporters in tissues from a mouse model of diet induced obesity, (ii) confirm differential expression of key ATP-binding cassette drug and lipid transporters in specific tissues at both gene and protein expression levels and (iii) test tissue-specific cell culture systems, already available within the group, for expression of the key ATP-binding cassette drug and lipid transporters identified in (ii).
