Abcg2 - ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 2

Enables several functions, including cytoskeletal protein binding activity; efflux transmembrane transporter activity; and xenobiotic transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipid; embryonic process involved in female pregnancy; and urate salt excretion. Located in external side of apical plasma membrane and nucleus. Biomarker of diabetes mellitus; secondary hyperparathyroidism; status epilepticus; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gout; hematologic cancer (multiple); renal cell carcinoma; and toxic encephalopathy. Orthologous to human ABCG2 (ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (Junior blood group)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
