Abcg2 Gene Summary [Rat]
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 dexamethasone stimulus; cellular response to estradiol stimulus; and embryonic process involved in female pregnancy. Located in external side of apical plasma membrane. 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 (JR blood group)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Abcg2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
