Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 5.2.2)
Predicted to enable ABC-type transporter activity; bilirubin transmembrane transporter activity; and protein domain specific binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including carboxylic acid transport; cellular chloride ion homeostasis; and mercury ion transport. Located in apical plasma membrane and intercellular canaliculus. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in foregut; genitourinary system; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including bile duct disease (multiple); bilirubin metabolic disorder (multiple); drug-induced hepatitis; leukemia (multiple); and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Orthologous to human ABCC2 (ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 2).
