TLDR
After stable transfection of epithelial LLC-PK1 cells, MDR1 and MDR3 Pgp were localized in the apical membrane and newly synthesized short-chain analogs of various membrane lipids were recovered in theApical albumin-containing medium of MDR 1 cells but not control cells.

Functional rafts in cell membranes

Kai Simons, +1 more
- 05 Jun 1997 - 
TL;DR: A new aspect of cell membrane structure is presented, based on the dynamic clustering of sphingolipids and cholesterol to form rafts that move within the fluid bilayer that function as platforms for the attachment of proteins when membranes are moved around inside the cell and during signal transduction.

Targeting multidrug resistance in cancer

TL;DR: Various approaches to combating multidrug-resistant cancer are described, including the development of drugs that engage, evade or exploit efflux by ABC transporters.

The human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily

TL;DR: The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are essential for many processes in the cell and mutations in these genes cause or contribute to several human genetic disorders including cystic fibrosis, neurological disease, retinal degeneration, cholesterol and bile transport defects, anemia, and drug response.

ABC Transporters: From Microorganisms to Man

TL;DR: This chapter discusses thebuilding blocks of the Transmembrane Complex, and some of the properties of these blocks have changed since the publication of the original manuscript in 1993.

Disruption of the mouse mdr1a P-glycoprotein gene leads to a deficiency in the blood-brain barrier and to increased sensitivity to drugs

TL;DR: The findings explain some of the side effects in patients treated with a combination of carcinostatics and P-glycoprotein inhibitors and indicate that these inhibitors might be useful in selectively enhancing the access of a range of drugs to the brain.

Brefeldin A: insights into the control of membrane traffic and organelle structure.

TL;DR: The relationship between the control of membrane traffic and the maintenance of organelle structure has been investigated with the use of a remarkable drug, brefeldin A (BFA), and some speculative models concerning the mechanism and regulation ofmembrane traffic within the central vacuolar system are proposed.

Homozygous disruption of the murine MDR2 P-glycoprotein gene leads to a complete absence of phospholipid from bile and to liver disease

TL;DR: It is concluded that the mdr2 P-glycoprotein has an essential role in the secretion of phosphatidylcholine into bile and hypothesize that it may be a phospholipid transport protein or phospholIPid flippase.
