Rabbit Anti-ABCB4, ID (ABCB4, MDR3, PGY3, Multidrug resistance protein 3, ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 4, P-glycoprotein 3) (PE)
ABCB4, MDR3, PGY3, Multidrug resistance protein 3, ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 4, P-glycoprotein 3

The membrane-associated protein encoded ABCB4 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 MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance as well as antigen presentation. This gene encodes a full transporter and member of the p-glycoprotein family of membrane proteins with phosphatidylcholine as its substrate. The function of this protein has not yet been determined; however, it may involve transport of phospholipids from liver hepatocytes into bile. Alternative splicing of this gene results in several products of undetermined function.
