Abstract excerpt
P-glycoprotein, encoded by the ABCB1 gene, functions as an ATP-driven efflux pump in the blood-brain barrier, extruding its substrates and thereby limiting their passage into the brain. ABCB1 polymorphisms predicted antidepressant drug response: Minor allele carriers of SNPs rs2032583 and rs2235015 had higher remission rates than major allele homozygotes. The aim of the current study was to evaluate an ABCB1...
