1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Study of the multidrug resistance phenomenon in tumor cell lines has led to the discovery of the product of the multidrug resistance (MDR) type 1 genes, the plasma membrane P-glycoprotein (P-gp) that functions as an energy-dependent pump for the efflux of diverse anticancer drugs. P-gp was also recently identified in normal epithelial cells with secretory/excretory functions and in the endothelial cells of the...
