Rabbit Anti-ABCB6 (ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 6, Mitochondrial precursor ABC transporter 3, Mt-ABC transporter 3, ABC transporter umat)
ABC antibody, ABC transporter umat antibody, ABC14 antibody, ATP binding cassette sub family B member 6, mitochondrial precursor antibody
ABCB6 (ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 6, also known as mitochondrial precursor ABC transporter 3, Mt-ABC transporter 3, and ABC transporter umat) is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABCB6 is a membrane-associated protein that transports various molecules across the extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, DR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily confer multi-drug resistance (MDR) to cancer cells and are also involved in antigen presentation. ABCB6 also likely plays a role in mitochondrial function. Localized to 2q26, this gene is considered a candidate gene for lethal neonatal metabolic syndrome, a disorder of mitochondrial function.
