SYNONYMS

Urate exporter; Placenta-specific ATP-binding cassette transporter; Mitoxantrone resistance-associated protein; MXR; CDw338; CD338; Breast cancer resistance protein; BCRP1; BCRP; ABCP

FUNCTION

Plays a role in porphyrin homeostasis as it is able to mediates the export of protoporhyrin IX (PPIX) both from mitochondria to cytosol and from cytosol to extracellular space, and cellular export of hemin, and heme. Xenobiotic transporter that may play an important role in the exclusion of xenobiotics from the brain. Appears to play a major role in the multidrug resistance phenotype of several cancer cell lines. Implicated in the efflux of numerous drugs and xenobiotics: mitoxantrone, the photosensitizer pheophorbide, camptothecin, methotrexate, azidothymidine (AZT), and the anthracyclines daunorubicin and doxorubicin. High-capacity urate exporter functioning in both renal and extrarenal urate excretion.
