ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are an evolutionarily conserved family
of proteins that catalyze the transport of molecules across extracellular and
intracellular membranes through the energy of ATP hydrolysis. The ABC halftransporter,
ABCG2, is also known as placenta-specific ABC transporter and
breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP1). ABCG2 confers resistance for a
variety of chemotherapeutic agents, including anthracyclines, mitoxantrone,
bisantrene and topotecan. Under normal conditions, ABCG2 may serve a protective
function by removing toxins from the cell, and plays an important role
in regulating stem cell differentiation. ABCG2 is responsible for the side
population (SP) phenotype and is widely expressed in a large variety of stem
cells, making it an important stem cell marker. ABCG2 may have N-linked
glycosylation and may dimerize in vivo. ABCG2 is abundantly expressed in
placenta, liver, intestine and stem cells.
