Gene Name OATP1B1
Uniprot ID SO1B1_HUMAN
KEGG Pathway hsa:10599
Protein Family Organo anion transporter (TC 2.A.60) family
Protein Function
Mediates the Na(+)-independent uptake of organic anions such as pravastatin, taurocholate, methotrexate, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, 17-beta-glucuronosyl estradiol, estrone sulfate, prostaglandin E2, thromboxane B2, leukotriene C3, leukotriene E4, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Involved in the clearance of bile acids and organic anions from the liver.

      Mechanism Description
  • Decreased clearance of Empagliflozin due to the transporter inhibition by Elexacaftor 

Recommended Action
      Management Caution is advised when elexacaftor is used concurrently with drugs that are known OATP 1B1 and 1B3 substrates, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever elexacaftor is added to or withdrawn from therapy.
