P Glycoprotein antibody targets Multidrug Resistance Protein 1, also known as MDR1 and encoded by the ABCB1 gene. P Glycoprotein is a transmembrane ATP binding cassette transporter predominantly localized to the plasma membrane, where it functions as an energy dependent efflux pump for a wide range of structurally diverse substrates. High expression of P Glycoprotein is observed in barrier and excretory tissues such as intestinal epithelium, liver canalicular membranes, kidney proximal tubules, and the blood brain barrier, reflecting its essential role in xenobiotic transport and tissue protection.
Functionally, Multidrug Resistance Protein 1 actively exports drugs, metabolites, and toxic compounds out of cells, thereby limiting intracellular accumulation. A short functional summary is that MDR1 regulates drug disposition and cellular exposure by pumping substrates across membranes using ATP hydrolysis. This activity has major implications for pharmacokinetics, drug bioavailability, and tissue specific drug resistance, particularly in cancer cells exposed to chemotherapeutic agents.
At the molecular level, P Glycoprotein contains two transmembrane domains that form the substrate translocation pathway and two cytoplasmic nucleotide binding domains that drive transport through ATP binding and hydrolysis. Conformational cycling between inward facing and outward facing states enables broad substrate specificity. P Glycoprotein antibody reagents are widely used to examine transporter expression, membrane localization, and regulation in both normal tissues and experimental model systems.
From a disease relevance perspective, MDR1 expression is strongly associated with multidrug resistance in cancer, where overexpression of P Glycoprotein reduces intracellular concentrations of chemotherapeutic drugs and contributes to treatment failure. Altered ABCB1 expression has also been implicated in neurological disorders, inflammatory disease, and variability in drug response. P Glycoprotein antibody tools are therefore central to studies of cancer biology, pharmacology, toxicology, and transporter mediated drug resistance.
Developmentally and physiologically, P Glycoprotein expression is tightly regulated to protect sensitive tissues from harmful compounds while facilitating drug clearance. Changes in MDR1 expression can occur in response to environmental stress, drug exposure, and pathological states. P Glycoprotein antibodies from NSJ Bioreagents are supplied for research use to support investigations of transporter biology, drug resistance mechanisms, and tissue barrier function.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the P Glycoprotein antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
Amino acids IYFKLVTMQTAGNEVELENAADESKSEIDA were used as the immunogen for this P Glycoprotein antibody.
After reconstitution, the P Glycoprotein antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
