DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the superfamily of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport different molecules across extra- and intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into 7 different subfamilies (ABC1, MDR / TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White).
The ABC protein belongs to the MRP subfamily, which is involved in resistance to several drugs. This protein acts as a modulator of ATP-sensitive potassium channels and insulin release.
