Supplementary info
- This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.
- Activity summary
ABCB5 also known as ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 5 belongs to the ABC transporter family. This protein functions mechanically as a transmembrane transporter that moves various molecules across cellular membranes using ATP hydrolysis. ABCB5 has a molecular mass of approximately 81 kDa. It is primarily expressed in stem cells melanocytes and certain cancer cells notably in the skin and eye tissues.
- Biological function summary
ABCB5 plays an essential role in the regulation of cellular processes including development proliferation and differentiation. It is part of the ATP-binding cassette transporters which help in maintaining cellular homeostasis by exporting toxic substances out of cells. In stem cells ABCB5 maintains the undifferentiated state and protects cells from apoptosis by mediating efflux of drugs contributing to multidrug resistance.
- Pathways
ABCB5 interacts with several cellular pathways involved in cell survival and drug resistance. It is closely connected with the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway which regulates cell proliferation and differentiation. ABCB5 also interacts with proteins like P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) as they both participate in similar drug resistance mechanisms affecting therapeutic outcomes in cancer treatment.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Research links ABCB5 to cancer progression and treatment resistance especially in melanoma and colorectal cancer. Its overexpression associates with chemotherapy resistance indicating a need for targeted therapy approaches. In melanoma proteins such as CD133 and ABCB5 together contribute to maintaining cancer stem cell populations which can lead to metastasis and recurrence.
