ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 2

ABCG2 (Atp-binding cassette, subfamily g, member 2) also known as ABCP, BCRP or MRX,   is a  protein that in humans is encoded by the ABCG2  gene. The  ABCG2  gene encodes a membrane transporter belonging to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of membrane transporters, which are involved in the trafficking of biologic molecules across cell membranes.  The  ABCG2  protein is also a high capacity transporter for uric acid excretion in the kidney, liver, and gut. The ABCG2 gene is mapped on 4q22.1. In vitro assays of isolated membrane preparations revealed a high-capacity, vanadate-sensitive ATPase activity associated with  ABCG2  expression that was stimulated by compounds known to be transported by this protein. Ozvegy et al. (2001)  concluded that  ABCG2  is likely functioning as a homodimer or homooligomer in this expression system since it is unlikely that putative Sf9 transport partners would be overexpressed at similarly high levels.Abcg2  transports pheophorbide-a, which occurs in various plant-derived foods and food supplements and is highly efficient in limiting its uptake from ingested food.  ABCG2  is a major factor in the concentrative transfer of drugs, carcinogens, and dietary toxins to the milk of mice, cows, and humans.

High-capacity urate exporter functioning in both renal and extrarenal urate excretion. Plays a role in porphyrin homeostasis as it is able to mediates the export of protoporhyrin IX (PPIX) both from mitochondria to cytosol and from cytosol to extracellular space, and cellular export of hemin, and heme. Xenobiotic transporter that may play an important role in the exclusion of xenobiotics from the brain (By similarity). May play a role in early stem cell self-renewal by blocking differentiation.
