Complex interplay between the P-glycoprotein multidrug efflux pump and the membrane: its role in modulating protein function
Multidrug resistance in cancer is linked to expression of the P-glycoprotein multidrug transporter (Pgp, ABCB1), which exports many structurally diverse compounds from cells. Substrates first partition into the bilayer and then interact with a large flexible binding pocket within the transporter’s t...
