Decreased hepatic accumulation and enhanced esterification of cholesterol in mice deficient in mdr1a and mdr1b P-glycoproteins

Class I P-glycoproteins [Pgp; MDR1 (ABCB1) in humans, mdr1a and mdr1b in mice] confer resistance to structurally diverse chemotherapeutic drugs in cultured cells and intact animals, but the function of these proteins in normal physiology remains poorly characterized.
