Abstract excerpt
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a membrane-bound transporter protein that is encoded by the human multidrug resistance gene MDR1 (ABCB1). P-gp recognizes a wide range of xenobiotics, is pivotal in mediating cancer drug resistance, and plays an important role in limiting drug penetration across the blood-brain barrier. MDR1 genetic variation can lead to changes in P-gp function and may have implications on drug...
