MRP5 (Multidrug Resistance-associated Protein 5, ATP-binding Cassette Sub-family C Member 5, Multi-specific Organic Anion Transporter C, MOAT-C, pABC11, SMRP, ABCC5)

ABCC5 is a member of 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 MRP subfamily which is involved in multi-drug resistance. This protein functions in the cellular export of its substrate, cyclic nucleotides. This export contributes to the degradation of phosphodiesterases and possibly an elimination pathway for cyclic nucleotides. Studies show that this protein provides...
