Abstract

The process by which various anions, including bilirubin and several dyes, drugs, hormones and their metabolites, are transferred from plasma into the liver cell is poorly understood. Two hepatic cytoplasmic proteins, Y and Z, that bind various organic anions in vivo and in vitro have been postulated to be involved in this process.
