Clinically-Relevant ABC Transporter for Anti-Cancer Drug Resistance

Abstract excerpt

Multiple drug resistance (MDR), referring to the resistance of cancer cells to a broad spectrum of structurally and mechanistically unrelated drugs across membranes, severely impairs the response to chemotherapy and leads to chemotherapy failure. Overexpression of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters is a major contributing factor resulting in MDR, which can recognize and mediate the efflux of diverse drugs...
