Gene: ABCG2
Official Full Name: ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (JR blood group)provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is included in 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 White subfamily. Alternatively referred to as a breast cancer resistance protein, this protein functions as a xenobiotic transporter which may play a major role in multi-drug resistance. It likely serves as a cellular defense mechanism in response to mitoxantrone and anthracycline exposure. Significant expression of this protein has been observed in the placenta, which may suggest a potential role for this molecule in placenta tissue. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

ABCG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell systems designed to provide a model for studying the functions of the ABCG2 transporter gene, a vital component in cellular drug transport and lipid metabolism. These cell lines possess a knockout modification that disrupts the expression of the ABCG2 gene, allowing researchers to investigate its role in multidrug resistance, pharmacokinetics, and the cellular efflux mechanism that mediates the transport of xenobiotics and endogenous compounds.
The primary function of ABCG2 is to facilitate the efflux of a variety of substrates across the cell membrane, impacting not only drug delivery and efficacy but also the development of resistance to therapeutics in cancer cells. By employing ABCG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, scientists can observe the resultant phenotypic changes when the gene is inactive, elucidating the biological pathways and mechanisms by which efflux pumps regulate drug disposition and sensitivity.
These knockout models are indispensable in both research and clinical settings, particularly in cancer biology, pharmacology, and toxicology. They allow for enhanced understanding of drug interactions, the analysis of biologically relevant pathways, and the testing of novel therapeutic compounds in a controlled environment, potentially leading to the identification of effective treatments for multidrug-resistant cancers.
Compared to traditional cell models, ABCG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer several key advantages. They provide a more precise platform for probing the specific contributions of the ABCG2 protein, delivering higher specificity in results and increasing the reproducibility of experiments. This level of detail can significantly enhance assay development, yielding insights that are often obscured in non-knockout systems.
For researchers and clinicians focused on optimizing therapeutic strategies and enhancing drug efficacy, the ABCG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines present a valuable asset. The ability to manipulate and study this gene in a controlled setting directly addresses critical challenges in pharmacotherapy, enabling innovation and potentially transformative discoveries.
