    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • two tandemly repeated polytopic membrane-spanning domains (MSDs) typical of ABC transporters
  • a third NH(2)-terminal MSD
  • an extracellular N terminus ABC transporter, traffic ATPase with two ATP binding (nucleotide binding fold) including the Walker motifs,
  • five transmembrane (5 TM), 17 membrane spanning helices
  • intracellular C terminus
    • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Abcc6
    intraspecies homolog to MRP6,MRP1,ABCC6L
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • ABC transporter superfamily
  • ABCC family
  • conjugate transporter subfamily
    • CATEGORY transport carrier
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • half ABC transporter, traffic ATPase, organic anions amphipatics, involved in cellular detoxification, hepatobiliary and renal excretion of xenobiotics and/or endogenous metabolites
  • may be a determinant of plasma lipoproteins
  • plays an important role in the endocrine cells
  • xenobiotic transporter, that might also be important in cancer drug resistance because of the involvement of PLAG family members in the progression of some types of cancer
  • may have a role in transporting vitamin K or its derivatives from the liver to the periphery, but not confirmed

    INTERACTION
    DNA

    small molecule
    protein
  • strong and direct target gene of PLAG1 and PLAGL1 (may contribute to shedding some more light on the regular physiological function of these factors, which (when disregulated) have very dissimilar impact on neoplastic transformation and progression of cancer)
  • target gene for transcriptional induction by PLAG1 and PLAGL1
    • cell & other
    REGULATION
    induced by retinoids through the retinoid X receptor
    Other regulated by PLAG family of transcription factors
    the ERK1/2-HNF4A axis has an important role in regulation of the gene
