Abstract excerpt
It has been proposed that the multidrug resistance (MDR) transporter, P-glycoprotein (P-170), may be physiologically involved in the transport of polypeptides. As a step towards understanding the interaction of P-170 with polypeptides, we isolated various gramicidin-D-resistant mammalian cell lines. Gramicidin D is a hydrophobic pentadecapeptide ionophore that forms proton and alkali metal cation-permeable...
