TABLE 3

Transporter abundance levels in the HEK293 cells (SLC transporters), inverted membrane vesicles (ABC transporters), and sandwich-cultured human hepatocytes (SCHHs)

Transporter expression was determined from abundance levels of surrogate peptides measured by targeted LC-MS/MS analysis (CV of the quantification methods <15%) (Balogh et al., 2012; Li et al., 2008b; Li et al., 2009; Qiu et al., 2013).
