Heat shock and arsenite increase expression of the multidrug resistance (MDR1) gene in human renal carcinoma cells.
1 Jan 1990
Abstract excerpt
The multidrug transporter, initially identified as a multidrug efflux pump responsible for resistance of cultured cells to natural product cytotoxic drugs, is normally expressed on the apical membranes of excretory epithelial cells in the liver, kidney, and intestine.
