Abstract excerpt
The P-glycoprotein (P-gp) plays an important role in carcinogen distribution and is connected with cell differentiation and apoptotic processes leading to carcinogenesis. Interindividual differences in P-gp activity could modulate susceptibility to cancer development. The MDR1 gene, coding for P-gp, is highly polymorphic and some mutations modulate P-gp activity. Recently, association between the MDR1 C3435T...
