Cloning, structural and functional characterization of the ABCB1 transporter of the Eurasian bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula) [PDF]
Suspected ivermectin hypersensitivity has been reported in the Eurasian bullfinch and some related passerine birds. However, the underlying cause and pharmacological mechanism have not been systematically investigated.

Introduction. Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is an efflux membrane transporter that controls the pharmacokinetics of a large number of drugs. Its activity may change when taking some endo- and exogenous substances, thus making it a link in drug ...

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are widely used as active agents in disinfectants, antiseptics, and preservatives. Despite being in use since the 1940s, there remain multiple open questions regarding their detailed mode-of-action and the mechanisms,

Cholesterol Efflux Assay [PDF]
Cholesterol content of cells must be maintained within the very tight limits, too much or too little cholesterol in a cell results in disruption of cellular membranes, apoptosis and necrosis. Cells can source cholesterol from intracellular synthesis and from plasma lipoproteins, both sources are sufficient to fully satisfy cells' requirements for ...

Consideration of Metabolite Efflux in Radiolabelled Choline Kinetics
Hypoxia is a complex microenvironmental condition known to regulate choline kinase α (CHKA) activity and choline transport through transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and, therefore, may confound the uptake of choline radiotracer ...

The MexJK Efflux Pump of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Requires OprM for Antibiotic Efflux but Not for Efflux of Triclosan [PDF]
ABSTRACT Using the biocide triclosan as a selective agent, several triclosan-resistant mutants of a susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain were isolated. Cloning and characterization of a DNA fragment conferring triclosan resistance from one of these mutants revealed a hitherto uncharacterized efflux ...

Targeted cholesterol efflux [PDF]
In the process of reverse cholesterol transport, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) transports excess cholesterol from peripheral cells back to the liver, where cholesterol is recycled or metabolized and excreted. On the cellular level, 2 membrane-associated ATP-binding cassette (ABC) cholesterol transporters, ABCA1 and ABCG1, play a major role in ...

Multidrug Efflux Pumps in Bacteria and Efflux Pump Inhibitors
Abstract Antimicrobial resistance is becoming a paramount health concern nowadays. The increasing drug resistance in microbes is due to improper medications or over usage of drugs. Bacteria develop many mechanisms to extrude the antibiotics entering the cell. The most prominent are the efflux pumps (EPs).
