Function | Translocates drugs and phospholipids across the membrane (PubMed:8898203, PubMed:2897240, PubMed:9038218, PubMed:35970996). Catalyzes the flop of phospholipids from the cytoplasmic to the exoplasmic leaflet of the apical membrane. Participates mainly to the flop of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, beta-D- glucosylceramides and sphingomyelins (PubMed:8898203). Energy-dependent efflux pump responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug- resistant cells (PubMed:2897240, PubMed:9038218, PubMed:35970996). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00441} Apical cell membrane. Cytoplasm Note=ABCB1 localization is influenced by C1orf115 expression levels (plasma membrane versus cytoplasm). Localized to the apical membrane of enterocytes (PubMed:28408210). |
Tissue Location | Expressed in small intestine (PubMed:28408210). Expressed in liver, kidney and brain. |

Background
P-gp, also called MDR1 or ABCB1, is a glycoprotein that in humans is encoded by the ABCB1 gene. P-gp is a well-characterized ABC-transporter (which transports a wide variety of xenobiotics across extra- and intracellular membranes). It is an ATP-dependent drug efflux pump with broad substrate specificity. It is responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant cells and often mediates the development of resistance to anticancer drugs. This protein functions in the kidneys, liver, blood–brain barrier and the intestinal epithelium.
