Recombinant fragment (around aa500-700) of human ABCB1 protein (exact sequence is proprietary)
Alternative Names:
ABC20, ABCB1, ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 1, CD243, CLCS, Colchicin sensitivity, Doxorubicin resistance, GP170, Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1), P-glycoprotein 1 (PGY1)
Cells selected for resistance to a single cytotoxic drug may become crossresistant to a broad range of drugs with different structures and cellular targets. This phenomenon is called multiple drug resistance (MDR). MDR proteins (Mdrs) are members of a highly conserved superfamily of ATP-binding cassette transport proteins. Mdr-1 is an apical transmembrane protein that is an integral part of the blood-brain barrier and functions as a drug-transport pump transporting a variety of drugs from the brain back into the blood. The Mdr-1 gene is known as ABCB1 and is located on human chromosome 7q21.12. The mouse homolog of Mdr-1 is known as Mdr-3. Interestingly, a murine protein by the name of Mdr-1 exists and is encoded by the murine Abcb1b gene, but it is not homologous with human Mdr-1.
