Comment typeDescription
Alternative ProductsEvent=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.;
DomainThe extracellular loop 3 (ECL3) is involved in binding porphyrins and transfer them to other carriers, probably albumin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20705604}.
FunctionHigh-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}.
InductionUp-regulated in brain tumors.
InteractionP11309-1:PIM1; NbExp=9; IntAct=EBI-1569435, EBI-1018629; P0CG48:UBC; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1569435, EBI-3390054;
MiscellaneousWhen overexpressed, the transfected cells become resistant to mitoxantrone, daunorubicin and doxorubicin.
PolymorphismGenetic 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.
PolymorphismGenetic 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.
PtmGlycosylation-deficient ABCG2 is normally expressed and functional. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15807535}.

SimilarityBelongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. ABCG family. Eye pigment precursor importer (TC 3.A.1.204) subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
SimilarityContains 1 ABC transmembrane type-2 domain. {ECO:0000305}.
SimilarityContains 1 ABC transporter domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00434}.
Subcellular LocationCell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Mitochondrion membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
SubunitMonomer 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 SpecificityHighly expressed in placenta. Low expression in small intestine, liver and colon. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9850061, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9861027}.
