GO curators for mouse genes have assigned the following annotations to the gene product of Abcg2. (This text reflects annotations as of Wednesday, January 23, 2013.) Summary from NCBI RefSeq
The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is included in the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the White subfamily. Alternatively referred to as a breast cancer resistance protein, the human protein functions as a xenobiotic transporter which may play a major role in multi-drug resistance. This protein likely serves as a cellular defense mechanism in response to mitoxantrone and anthracycline exposure.
