Abcb1 is involved in the efflux of trivalent inorganic arsenic from brain microvascular endothelial cells by Man Lv, Ziqiao Guan, Jia Cui, Xinbo Ma, Kunyu Zhang, Xinhua Shao, Meichen Zhang, Yanhui Gao, Yanmei Yang, Xiaona Liu

“…Arsenic (As) can penetrate brain tissue through the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and the ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (Abcb1) has been shown to facilitate the transport of inorganic arsenic (iAs) in animal liver, small intestine, and yeast. However, the relationship between Abcb1 and BBB has not been reported, and the mechanism of brain microvascular endothelial cells Abcb1 on the transport of iAs needs to be further studied. …”
