Progress of Research on ABC Transporters in Tumor Multidrug Resistance

More Information
  • The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily comprises membrane proteins that efflux various substrates across extra- and intracellular membranes. Among them, ABCB1, ABCG2, and ABCC1 are directly linked to tumor multidrug resistance (MDR). This review provides an overview of the current understanding on the novel mechanisms and functions of ABCB1, ABCG2, and ABCC1 transporters in tumor MDR, discusses the latest strategies to target these transporters, and explores further opportunities to overcome MDR.
