| Background | M2III-6 reacts with an internal epitope of cMOAT/MRP2, a 170-180 kD transmembrane protein known as the canalicular multi-organic anion transporter, absent in patients with the Dubin-Johnson syndrome, an autosomal recessive liver disorder characterized by chronic conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. cMOAT/MRP2 is closely related to the multidrug resistance related protein MRP, and cMOAT/MRP2 overexpression has been observed in a subset of cisplatin resistant cell lines. M2III-6 was raised against a bacterial fusion protein of cMOAB/MRP2, containing the 202-amino acid COOH terminal end of the protein. M2III-6 did not cross react with the human MDR1, MRP1, MRP3 and MRP5 gene products. |
