It was found that the mechanism of anti-cancer drug resistance in anaplastic carcinoma of the thyroid was not explicable only in terms of expression of mdr1 and its gene product, P-glycoprotein. The multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP), another member of the mdr gene family, may be involved in anti-cancer drug resistance of this carcinoma. The MRP expression was examined immunohistochemically in 8 cell lines and 73 thyroid cancer tissues; its frequency in anaplastic carcinoma (52%) was significantly higher than that in other thyroid cancer types.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides

D018528 ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters A family of MEMBRANE TRANSPORT PROTEINS that require ATP hydrolysis for the transport of substrates across membranes. The protein family derives its name from the ATP-binding domain found on the protein.

D027425 Multidrug Resistance-Associated Proteins A sequence-related subfamily of ATP-BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTERS that actively transport organic substrates. Although considered organic anion transporters, a subset of proteins in this family have also been shown to convey drug resistance to neutral organic drugs. Their cellular function may have clinical significance for CHEMOTHERAPY in that they transport a variety of ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS. Overexpression of proteins in this class by NEOPLASMS is considered a possible mechanism in the development of multidrug resistance (DRUG RESISTANCE, MULTIPLE). Although similar in function to P-GLYCOPROTEINS, the proteins in this class share little sequence homology to the ATP BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTER, SUBFAMILY B, MEMBER 1 family of proteins.
