Sandbox PgpWWC

P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1) is one of the membrane proteins responsible for the MDR in cancer treatment, as well as various other drug therapies beyond cancer (Aller et. al 2009; He and Liu 2002). P-gp can be found in tumor cells, as well as in the liver, kidney, adrenal gland, intestine, blood-brain barrier (BBB), placenta, blood-testis barrier, and blood-ovarian barriers. P-gp is an effective MDR transport protein because of the high amount of active substrates stemming from the polyspecificity for hydrophobic and aromatic compounds (Marchetti, Mazzanti, Beijnen, & Schellens 2007).
