ABCC11 (human), recombinant protein

Protein function: ATP-dependent transporter of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family that actively extrudes physiological compounds, and xenobiotics from cells. Participates in physiological processes involving bile acids, conjugated steroids and cyclic nucleotides (PubMed:12764137, PubMed:15537867). Stimulates the ATP-dependent uptake of a range of physiological lipophilic anions, including the glutathione S-conjugates leukotriene C4 and dinitrophenyl S-glutathione, steroid sulfates such as dehydroepiandrosterone 3-sulfate (DHEAS) and estrone 3-sulfate, glucuronides such as estradiol 17-beta-D-glucuronide (E(2)17betaG), the monoanionic bile acids glycocholate and taurocholate, and methotrexate (PubMed:15537867, PubMed:25896536). Enhances also the cellular extrusion of cAMP and cGMP (PubMed:12764137, PubMed:15537867). Confers resistance to anticancer drugs, such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and methotrexate (PubMed:25896536, PubMed:15537867, PubMed:12764137). Probably functions to secrete earwax (PubMed:16444273, PubMed:19383836). Required for the secretion of components contributing to axillary odor formation (PubMed:19710689, PubMed:12764137, PubMed:15537867, PubMed:16444273, PubMed:19383836, PubMed:25896536).
