For years, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) has been purported to be a membrane transporter capable of selectively transporting many (but not all) lipophilic anticancer drugs with diverse chemical structures. Because the alleged functions of P-gp provide a straightforward, near-perfect explanation for the mole
Cells displaying the classic multidrug resistant (MDR) phenotype possess a transmembrane protein (p170 or P-glycoprotein) which can actively extrude cytotoxic agents from the cytoplasm. A mathematical model of this drug efflux pump has been developed. Outward transport is modeled as a facilitated di
