Anti-CD243 / MDR-1 Monoclonal Antibody (Clone:UIC2) -PE Conjugated

CD243, also known as multidrug resistant protein 1 (MDR-1) or P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is an ATP binding cassette (ABC) -containing efflux transporter for xenobiotic lipophilic compounds 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 also functions as a transporter in the blood-brain barrier. It is expressed in many tissues, including the brain, liver, pancreas, testes, kidney, and blood (B, T, NK cells, but not monocytes) .
