Human ATP Binding Cassette Transporter C10 (ABCC10) Protein

Background

ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 10 (ABCC10), also known as multidrug resistance-associated protein 7 (MRP7), is part of the ABC transporter family involved in ATP-dependent efflux of endogenous and exogenous compounds across cellular membranes. ABCC10 plays a role in multidrug resistance by transporting chemotherapeutic agents such as taxanes and nucleoside analogs. It is widely expressed in various tissues, including the liver, lungs, and intestines, contributing to detoxification and xenobiotic metabolism. The protein contains two transmembrane domains and two nucleotide-binding domains, characteristic of ABC transporters. Dysregulation or overexpression of ABCC10 is associated with cancer drug resistance and altered pharmacokinetics of therapeutic agents.
