The expression level of Mrp2 protein in rat and dog liver

Mrp2 protein expression levels in rat and dog livers were quantified by Western blot analysis using respective MBP fusion protein as a standard. Results represent the mean ± S.D. of triplicate determinations. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities in the crude membrane fraction and liver homogenate are shown.
