Research context & evidence

About ABCG2

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

ABCG2/BCRP is a broad-substrate ATP-dependent transporter that exports physiological compounds, dietary toxins and xenobiotics from cells. It contributes to multidrug resistance and also participates in transport of porphyrins, heme and urate.

Experimental context

Research context

ABCG2 is studied in drug transport and resistance, barrier and placental transport, xenobiotic handling, porphyrin and heme homeostasis, and urate biology. Reagent selection should consider species, membrane localization, application and product-level validation.
