P-Glycoprotein
MDR1 Protein | Multidrug Resistance Protein 1 | ATP-Binding Cassette, Sub-Family B, Member 1 | P-gp | PGY-1 Protein | P Glycoprotein | PGY 1 Protein
A 170 kD transmembrane glycoprotein from the superfamily of ATP-BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTERS. It serves as an ATP-dependent efflux pump for a variety of chemicals, including many ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS. Overexpression of this glycoprotein is associated with multidrug resistance (see DRUG RESISTANCE, MULTIPLE). |
