| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in apocrine glands (at protein level). Expressed at moderate levels in breast and testis and at very low levels in liver, brain and placenta. Localizes to axons of the central and peripheral nervous system (at protein level). |
| Function | ATP-dependent transporter of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family that actively extrudes physiological compounds and xenobiotics from cells. Plays a role in physiological processes involving bile acids, conjugated steroids and cyclic nucleotides, including cAMP and cGMP. Mediates the ATP-dependent efflux of a range of physiological lipophilic anions, including the glutathione S-conjugates leukotriene C4 and dinitrophenyl S-glutathione, steroid sulfates, such as dehydroepiandrosterone 3-sulfate (DHEAS) and estrone 3-sulfate, glucuronides such as estradiol 17-beta-D-glucuronide (E(2)17betaG), the monoanionic bile acids glycocholate and taurocholate, and methotrexate. Plays a role in the transport of earwax components. Participates in the secretion of odorants and their precursors from the apocrine sweat glands, including the secretion of glutamine conjugates, as well as the Cys-Gly-(S) conjugates of 3-methyl-3-sulfanyl-hexanol. Involved in the cellular extrusion of nucleotide analogs, hence confering resistance to various drugs, including clinically relevant drugs such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and methotrexate. |
