SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	ABC transporter, traffic ATPase, emergy-dependent efflux pump responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug resistant cells
	potentially implicated in cholesterol transport
	may maintain neural stem/progenitor cells in an undifferentiated state and could be a neural stem/progenitor marker
	cause multidrug resistance in tumor cell lines selected with lipophilic anticancer drugs
	drug efflux transporter expressed in various tissues and playing an important role in the absorption and elimination of many drugs and xenobiotics
	is involved in BTB (blood–testis barrier) restructuring during spermatogenesis but ABCB1–mediated restructuring does not “open up” the BTB to make it freely permeable to drugs
	innate immune inflammatory response in the trabecular meshwork (TM) may play a role in the ABCB1 detoxification of potentially harmful constituents in the aqueous humor (pMID: 25802484)
	important and selective elements of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), that actively contribute to brain homeostasis
	ABCB1 is involved in neo-absorbed vitamin D efflux by the enterocytes and it also contributes to vitamin D transintestinal excretion and likely impacts vitamin D status
	is an ATP-dependent drug efflux pump which exports endo- and exogenous substances outside the cell

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

text	cholesterol transport

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

ABCB1 and an integrated component of the occludin/zonula occludens 1 (TJP1) adhesion complex at the BTB, structurally interacted with PTK2, creating the OCLN/TJP1/PTK2/ABCB1 regulatory complex

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule	nucleotide,
	ATP

protein	APEX1 stably interacts with Y-box-binding protein 1 (YBX1), and acts as its coactivator for the expression of multidrug resistance gene ABCB1, thereby causing drug resistance
	involved in regulating BTB dynamics, likely via its interaction with PTK2, which modulates the phosphorylation status of the OCLN/TJP1 protein complex
	PPP2R3C negatively regulates ABCB1 expression and function
	ABCB1 functional activity is affected by TLR4 agonists suggesting that modulation of TLR4 is important in ABCB1 function
	crucial role of ABCB1 in the APP transport and oxidative stress may interfere with this process
