Polymorphisms within PfMDR1 alter the substrate specificity for anti‐malarial drugs in<i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>
18 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to several anti-malarial drugs has been associated with polymorphisms within the P-glycoprotein homologue (Pgh-1, PfMDR1) of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Pgh-1, coded for by the gene pfmdr1, is predominately located at the membrane of the parasite's digestive vacuole. How polymorphisms within this transporter mediate alter anti-malarial drug responsiveness has remained obscure....
