In contrast to ABC transporters (e.g., p-glycoprotein, ABCG2 or BCRP, and members of the MRP or ABCC family), which transport drugs and have been studied in the context of cancer and tumor resistance, much less is known about the role of SLC22 “drug” transporters (and other SLC22 family members) in cancer. The gene discussed is ABCB1; the disease is cancer.
