Most cancer tissues were negative. A few testis and prostate cancers displayed weak cytoplasmic and membranous staining.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ABCC4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
EST170205, MOAT-B, MOATB, MRP4
Description
ATP-binding cassette, sub-family C (CFTR/MRP), member 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene 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 family member plays a role in cellular detoxification as a pump for its substrate, organic anions. It may also function in prostaglandin-mediated cAMP signaling in ciliogenesis. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
