Abstract excerpt
Transporter proteins, in particular P-glycoprotein (Pgp), are important determinants in absorption, tissue targeting, and elimination of drugs. In addition to physiological and environmental factors, its expression and function are modified by genetic polymorphisms of the MDR1 gene. So far, several MDR1 SNPs have been identified, and mutations at positions 2677 and 3435 were associated with alteration of Pgp...
