Localization microscopy (SPDM) reveals clustered formations of P-glycoprotein in a human blood-brain barrier model.

P-glycoprotein (Pgp; also known as MDR1, ABCB1) is the most important and best studied efflux transporter at the blood-brain barrier (BBB); however, the organization of Pgp is unknown.
