Drug transporters are increasingly recognized to be important to drug disposition and response. P-glycoprotein, the encoded product of the human MDR1 (ABCB1) gene, is of particular clinical relevance in that this transporter has broad substrate specificity, including a variety of structurally divergent drugs in clinical use today. Moreover, expression of this efflux transporter in certain tissue compartments such...
