MRP4 is an ABC membrane transporter involved in clinical outcomes as it is located in many tissues that manages the transport and the elimination of many drugs. This review explores the implication of MRP4 in clinical pharmacology and the importance of its genetic variability. Although there is no specific recommendation regarding the study of MRP4 in drug development, it should be considered when drugs are eliminated by the kidney or liver or when drug-drug interactions are expected.
