Polymorphisms of ABCG2 and its impact on clinical relevance.

Abstract excerpt

Human ABCG2 is one of the most important ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. This protein functions as a xenobiotic transporter of large, hydrophobic, positively or negatively charged molecules, a wide variety anticancer drugs, fluorescent dyes, and different toxic compounds found in normal food.
