“…ABCB1 ATPase activity was measured in most cases in native membranes prepared from ABCB1-overexpressing cells. While the basal ATPase activity of ABCB1 was increased by cholesterol, the substrate-stimulated activity was less modified (Belli, Elsener, Wunderli-Allenspach, & Kramer, 2009;Bucher, Belli, Wunderli-Allenspach, & Kramer, 2007). In addition, in the case of smaller size drug substrates, cholesterol had a much greater influence on the substrate-dependent ABCB1-ATPase activity than in the case of larger drug substrates (Kimura, Kioka, Kato, Matsuo, & Ueda, 2007).…”
