Abstract excerpt
P-glycoproteins (P-gp) are transmembrane efflux flippases that prevent the cellular accumulation of moderately hydrophobic compounds and are responsible for certain multidrug resistance phenotypes in tumor cell lines and human patients. We investigated whether P-gps could be involved in a contaminant resistant phenotype observed in a population of fish exposed over generations to high levels of planar halogenated...
