The Silencing of Multidrug Resistance-Associated Protein 5 by siRNA Complexes

The Silencing of Multidrug Resistance-Associated Protein 5 by siRNA Complexes content piece image
Abstract
The purpose is to study the role of multidrug resistance-associated protein 5, MRP5 in drug metabolism in human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). RPE forms the outer part of blood-retinal barrier (BRB) which restricts movements of solutes from systemic bloodstream to the neural retina. The efflux protein, MPR5 is expressed in RPE but its functions are mainly unknown. SiRNA will be tested as a tool to clarify the role of MRP5.
