Gene Name ABCB1
Uniprot ID MDR1_HUMAN
KEGG Pathway hsa:5243
Protein Family ABC transporter superfamily
Protein Function
Translocates drugs and phospholipids across the membrane (PubMed:8898203, PubMed:2897240, PubMed:9038218). Catalyzes the flop of phospholipids from the cytoplasmic to the exoplasmic leaflet of the apical membrane. Participates mainly to the flop of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, beta-D-glucosylceramides and sphingomyelins (PubMed:8898203). Energy-dependent efflux pump responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant cells (PubMed:2897240, PubMed:9038218).

      Mechanism Description
  • Accelerated clearance of Sofosbuvir due to the transporter induction by Oxcarbazepine 

Recommended Action
      Management Given the risk of reduced viral susceptibility and resistance development associated with subtherapeutic antiviral drug levels, concomitant use of P-gp inducers should generally be avoided during treatment with sofosbuvir, given either as a single-ingredient product or as a fixed-dose combination product with ledipasvir or velpatasvir.
