Characterization of ABC transporters in human skin.
BACKGROUND Most identified drug transporters belong to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) and solute carrier (SLC) families. Recent research indicates that these transporters play an important role in the absorption, distribution and excretion of drugs, and are involved in clinically relevant drug-drug interactions for systemic drugs. However, very little is known about the role of drug transporter...
متن کاملAbc Transporters in Mitochondria
Mitochondria are essential organelles of most eukaryotic cells including fungi, invertebrates, vertebrates and plants. They perform various processes such as oxidative phosphorylation, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, fatty acid oxidation, the biosynthesis of various amino acids, the generation of iron-sulfur (Fe/S) clusters and their insertion into apoproteins, as well as partial reactions of hem...
متن کاملABC transporters involved in drug resistance in human parasites.
The ABC (ATP-binding cassette) protein superfamily is a ubiquitous and functionally versatile family of proteins that is conserved from archaea to humans. In eukaryotes, most of these proteins are implicated in the transport of a variety of molecules across cellular membranes, whereas the remaining ones are involved in biological processes unrelated to transport. The biological functions of sev...
متن کاملStructure of ABC transporters.
ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters are primary active membrane proteins that translocate solutes (allocrites) across lipid bilayers. The prototypical ABC transporter consists of four domains: two cytoplasmic NBDs (nucleotide-binding domains) and two TMDs (transmembrane domains). The NBDs, whose primary sequence is highly conserved throughout the superfamily, bind and hydrolyse ATP to power...
متن کاملPeroxisomal ABC transporters.
The set of proteins found in the membranes of mammalian peroxisomes includes four half ABC transporters (ALDP, ALDR, PMP70, P70R) comprising a distinct subset of the superfamily of ABC transporters designated subfamily D. Each has an N-terminal hydrophobic transmembrane domain with multiple transmembrane segments (TMS) and a hydrophilic C-terminal half containing a nucleotide-binding domain (NB...
