NCIt synonyms : Placenta-Specific ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter; BCRP1 Protein; Mitoxantrone Resistance Protein; ATP Binding Cassette Transporter G2; Placenta Specific MDR Protein; ABCG2; Breast Cancer Resistance Protein 1; Mitoxantrone-Resistance Protein; ATP Binding Cassette Transporter-G2; Breast Cancer Resistance Protein; CD338 Antigen; Mitoxantrone Resistance-Associated Protein; Urate Exporter; CDw338; BRCP; CD338; ATP-Binding Cassette Sub-Family G Member 2;
NCIt definition : Broad substrate specificity ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCG2 (655 aa, 72 kDa)
is encoded by the human ABCG2 gene. This protein is involved in the transport of urate,
heme, porphyrin and xenobiotics.;
NCIt note : ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 2 has been implicated in the export of mitoxantrone,
pheophorbide, camptothecin, methotrexate, azidothymidine (AZT), daunorubicin, and
doxorubicin;
