Multidrug Resistance Protein 1 (MDR1)

Target
MDR1
Molecular classification
Transporter, ATP-binding cassette transporter, ABC transporter
01

Overview

Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1/P-glycoprotein/ABCB1) is an essential efflux pump responsible for protecting tissues from toxins but also mediates clinically significant drug resistance—especially during cancer treatment—by reducing intracellular accumulation through active export powered by ATP hydrolysis.
