Rabbit anti-Human ABCB10 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9NRK6

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ABCB10

Target Full Name

ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 10, mitochondrial

Target Function

Catalyzes the export of an unknown physiological substrate from the mitochondrial matrix to the cytosol in an ATP-dependent manner. May also transport the heme analog Zn (II) mesoporphyrin (ZnMP) in an ATP dependent manner but can't export the heme precursor 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) from mitochondria. Plays a role in the early step of the heme biosynthetic process during insertion of iron into protoporphyrin IX (PPIX). In turn participates in hemoglobin synthesis and also protects against oxidative stress. In addition may be involved in mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) signaling pathway, although ABCB10 probably does not participate in peptide export from mitochondria.

Target Subcellular Location

Mitochondrion inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

ABC transporter superfamily, ABCB family, Mitochondrial peptide exporter (TC 3.A.1.212) subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Target Background

The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance. The function of this mitochondrial protein is unknown.
