P-glycoprotein 1 (permeability glycoprotein abbreviated as P-gp or Pgp) also known as multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) or ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 1 (ABCB1) or cluster of differentiation 243 (CD243) is an important protein of the cell membrane that pumps many foreign substances out of cells. More formally it is an ATP-dependent efflux pump with broad substrate specificity.
