Abstract excerpt
A variety of human cancers become resistant or are intrinsically resistant to treatment with conventional drug therapies. This phenomenon is due in large part to the overexpression of a 170 kDa plasma membrane ATP-dependent pump known as the multidrug resistance transporter or P-glycoprotein. P-glycoprotein is a member of the large ATP binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of membrane transporters. This review...
