Abstract excerpt
The human ABCG2 protein is an ATP binding cassette half-transporter, which protects our cells and tissues against various xenobiotics, while overexpression of ABCG2 in tumor cells confers multidrug resistance. It has been documented that single amino acid changes at position 482 resulted in altered drug resistance and transport capacity. In this study, we have generated nine Arg-482 mutants (G, I, M, S, T, D, N,...
