anti-BCRP (ABCG2) Antibody

BCRP (ABCG2)

Breast Cancer Resistance Protein, BCRP1, ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 2, ATP binding cassette sub family G (WHITE) member 2, ABCG2, Mitoxantrone resistance associated protein, MXR, MXR1

BCRP, also called ABCG2, is encoded by the ABCG2 gene. BCRP is a well-characterized ABC-transporter (which limits uptake or mediates efflux of a wide variety of drugs, carcinogens, dietary toxins across cellular membranes). It is an ATP-dependent pump with broad substrate specificity. Significant expression has been observed in the placenta and it has been shown to have a role in protecting the fetus from xenobiotics in the maternal circulation. It plays protective roles in blocking absorption at the apical membrane of the intestine, and at the blood-testis barrier, the blood–brain barrier and the membranes of hematopoietic progenitor and other stem cells. At the apical membranes of the liver and kidney, it enhances excretion of xenobiotics. In the lactating mammary gland, it has a role on excreting vitamins such as riboflavin and biotin into milk.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
