Expression pattern of human ATP-binding cassette transporters in skin
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters transport a variety of substrates across cellular membranes coupled with hydrolysis of ATP. Currently 49 ABC transporters consisting of seven subfamilies, ABCA, ABCB, ABCC, ABCD, ABCE, ABCF, and ABCG, have been identified in humans and they are extensively expressed in various tissues. Skin can develop a number of drug-induced toxicities' such as Stevens-...
متن کاملATP-binding cassette transporters, atherosclerosis, and inflammation.
Although recent genome-wide association studies have called into question the causal relationship between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and cardiovascular disease, ongoing research in animals and cells has produced increasing evidence that cholesterol efflux pathways mediated by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and HDL suppress atherosclerosis. These differing perspec...
متن کاملEvolution of the ATP-binding-cassette transmembrane transporters of vertebrates.
The ATP-binding-cassette transmembrane transporters (ABC transporters) known from vertebrates belong to four major subfamilies: (1) the P-glycoproteins (Pgp); (2) the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulators (CFTR); (3) the Tap proteins encoded with the major histocompatibility complex of mammals; and (4) the peroxisomal membrane proteins. Both Pgp and CFTR have a structure suggesti...
متن کاملPharmacogenetics of ATP-binding cassette transporters in cancer and chemotherapy.
The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters belong to the largest known transporter gene family and translocate a variety of substrates including chemotherapy agents. ABC multidrug transporter expression has been implicated in tumor cell resistance to anticancer therapy, altered disposition of chemotherapy drugs, and associated chemotherapy toxicity. More recently, genetic heterogeneity has bee...
متن کاملATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in human metabolism and diseases.
The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of active transporters involves a large number of functionally diverse transmembrane proteins. They transport a variety of substrates including amino acids, lipids, inorganic ions, peptides, saccharides, metals, drugs, and proteins. The ABC transporters not only move a variety of substrates into and out of the cell, but also are also involved in intrac...
