Equilibrative nucleoside transporter 3 (ENT3, SLC29A3) is an intracellular transporter involved in mitochondrial import of ribavirin (RBV) and RBV-TP (Hu et al, 2006; Govindarajan et al, 2009). Mitochondrial import of RBV appears to be a factor contributing to mitochondrial toxicity in patients treated with both RBV and highly active antiretrovirals (HAART) (Reiberger et al, 2010).
