Solute carrier (SLC) transporters mediate a large number of physiological processes, and the dysfunction of individual transporters has been implicated in many Mendelian diseases. In this Review, Giacomini and colleagues summarize these roles and ways in which SLC transporters can be targeted by drugs, and highlight current and investigational drugs that modulate SLC transporters.
