Current advances on ABC drug transporters in fish [PDF]
Most members of the large ATP-binding cassette (ABC) gene family are transporters involved in substrate translocation across biological membranes. In eukaryotes, ABC proteins functioning as drug transporters are located in the plasma membrane and mediate

ABC Transporters in Human Diseases
Mammalian ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters constitute a superfamily of proteins involved in many essential cellular processes. Most of these transporters are transmembrane proteins and allow the active transport of solutes, small molecules, and ...

Strategies and Mechanism in Reversing Intestinal Drug Efflux in Oral Drug Delivery
Efflux transporters distributed at the apical side of human intestinal epithelial cells actively transport drugs from the enterocytes to the intestinal lumen, which could lead to extremely poor absorption of drugs by oral administration.

"In silico" prediction of drug transport across physiological barriers [PDF]
Physiological barriers maintain and safeguard homeostasis of certain body compartments by an increased resistance against free diffusion. Distribution and pharmacokinetics of drugs can be altered as well, if they have to cross these barriers in order to ...

Nilotinib concentration in cell lines and primary CD34+ chronic myeloid leukemia cells is not mediated by active uptake or efflux by major drug transporters [PDF]
Imatinib mesylate and nilotinib are highly effective at eradicating the majority of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells; however, neither agent induces apoptosis of primitive CML CD34<sup>+</sup> cells.
