Uptake of 0.1 μM [3H]E3S at 37°C between 0.5 and 10 min measured in HEK293T cells transiently transfected with OATP1B1-pcDNA (closed circles) or pcDNA vector control (open circles). Each point represents the mean ± standard error (SE) of 3-well replicates. Inset: OATP1B1-mediated uptake (i.e., OATP1B1-pcDNA uptake with the pcDNA vector control subtracted) up to 5 min, fitted with a linear regression line.
