Caco-2 Permeability Caco-2 assays measure the ability of a drug to be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and thereby to evaluate whether the drug can be suitably dosed via an oral route. It also provides information regarding the ability of a compound to serve as a substrate for the P-glycoprotein (Pgp) efflux drug pump. Caco-2 cells are intestinal epithelial tumor cells that form a polarized monolayer, a well-defined brush border on the apical surface and intercellular junctions when
