Abstract excerpt
P-glycoprotein (PGP) is a membrane protein which determines drug disposition in humans (e.g. digoxin). It is also expressed in various leukocyte lineages with highest expression in CD56+ natural killer cells. Recently, a polymorphism in exon 26 (C3435T) of this gene was shown to correlate with intestinal PGP expression and function in humans. Carriers homozygous for this polymorphism (TT) showed more than...
