Hepatocyte Uptake

Molecular classification: Physiological Process

Overview

Hepatocyte uptake refers to the process by which hepatocytes internalize specific imaging agents or tracers. This property is exploited in diagnostic imaging to assess liver function and detect hepatic pathology. The uptake is typically mediated by specific transporters on the hepatocyte membrane that recognize and import these agents, such as OATPs and NTCP.
