Abstract: Blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier(blood-CSF barrier) is a dynamic physiological structure,which is composed of brain microvascular endothelial cells,astrocytes and pericytes,playing an important role in maintaining homeostasis in the central nervous system(CNS). P-glycoprotein(P-gp) is a common membrane protein in the blood cerebrospinal fluid barrier,which is expressed in the brain microvascular endothelial cells,and it limits the toxic substances and a large number of drugs for the treatment of the central nervous system into the brain. Therefore the efflux transport mechanism of P-gp in the blood-CSF barrier is a break though point for the treatment of nervous system disease. This article mainly reviews research progress on the basic structure and trans-port mechanism of P-gp,it’s regulation mechanism in the physiological and pathological conditions and inhibitors,to provide references for drug development and blood-CSF barrier transport mechanism of CNS.

Key words: P-glycoprotein, basic structure, transport mechanism, regulation mechanism, inhibitor
