Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major impediment to the success of cancer chemotherapy. Multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRPs) play an important role in the process of MDR. As an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily, MRPs are selective and specific drug efflux pumps. In this paper, physiological characteristics, structural characteristics and resistance profile of MRPs and the associated reversal studies are reviewed.
多药耐药性(MDR)是癌症化疗成功的主要障碍。多药耐药相关蛋白(MRP)在MDR过程中起重要作用。作为ATP结合盒(ABC)转运蛋白超家族,MRP是选择性和特异性的药物外排泵。本文综述了MRP的生理特性、结构特性、耐药谱以及相关的逆转研究。
