Description
Alternative Products
Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2; Name=1; IsoId=Q9UNQ0-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=Q9UNQ0-2; Sequence=VSP_014232, VSP_014233; Note=No experimental confirmation available.;
Domain
The extracellular loop 3 (ECL3) is involved in binding porphyrins and transfer them to other carriers, probably albumin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20705604}.
Function
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. Appears to play a major role in the multidrug resistance phenotype of several cancer cell lines. Implicated in the efflux of numerous drugs and xenobiotics: mitoxantrone, the photosensitizer pheophorbide, camptothecin, methotrexate, azidothymidine (AZT), and the anthracyclines daunorubicin and doxorubicin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12958161, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20705604, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22132962, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23189181}.
Induction
Up-regulated in brain tumors.
Interaction
P11309-1:PIM1; NbExp=9; IntAct=EBI-1569435, EBI-1018629; P0CG48:UBC; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1569435, EBI-3390054;
Miscellaneous
When overexpressed, the transfected cells become resistant to mitoxantrone, daunorubicin and doxorubicin.
Polymorphism
Genetic variations in ABCG2 define the blood group Junior system (JR) [MIM:614490]. Individuals with Jr(a-) blood group lack the Jr(a) antigen on their red blood cells. These individuals may have anti-Jr(a) antibodies in their serum, which can cause transfusion reactions or hemolytic disease of the fetus or newborn. Although the clinical significance of the Jr(a-) blood group has been controversial, severe fatal hemolytic disease of the newborn has been reported. The Jr(a-) phenotype has a higher frequency in individuals of Asian descent, compared to those of European descent. The Jr(a-) phenotype is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
Polymorphism
Genetic variations in ABCG2 influence the variance in serum uric acid concentrations and define the serum uric acid concentration quantitative trait locus 1 (UAQTL1) [MIM:138900]. Excess serum accumulation of uric acid can lead to the development of gout, a common disorder characterized by tissue deposition of monosodium urate crystals as a consequence of hyperuricemia.
Ptm
Glycosylation-deficient ABCG2 is normally expressed and functional. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15807535}.
Sequence Caution
Sequence=AF093771; Type=Frameshift; Positions=486, 586; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=AF093772; Type=Frameshift; Positions=386, 502, 586; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
Similarity
Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. ABCG family. Eye pigment precursor importer (TC 3.A.1.204) subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity
Contains 1 ABC transmembrane type-2 domain. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity
Contains 1 ABC transporter domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00434}.
Subcellular Location
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Mitochondrion membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Subunit
Monomer under reducing conditions, the minimal functional units is a homodimer; disulfide-linked, but the major oligomeric form in plasma membranes is a homotetramer with possibility of higher order oligomerization up to homododecamers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15001581, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17686774}.
Tissue Specificity
Highly expressed in placenta. Low expression in small intestine, liver and colon. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9850061, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9861027}.
