Journal ArticleDOI

The MRP gene encodes an ATP-dependent export pump for leukotriene C4 and structurally related conjugates.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the biosynthetic release of LTC4 from cells is mediated by the 190-kDa product of the MRP gene, a primary-active ATP-dependent export pump for conjugates of lipophilic compounds with glutathione and several other anionic residues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conjugate export pumps of the multidrug resistance protein (MRP) family: localization, substrate specificity, and MRP2-mediated drug resistance.

TL;DR: Because of its function in the terminal excretion of cytotoxic and carcinogenic substances, MRP2 as well as other members of the MRP family, play an important role in detoxification and chemoprevention.
Journal Article

Drug Resistance and ATP-Dependent Conjugate Transport Mediated by the Apical Multidrug Resistance Protein, MRP2, Permanently Expressed in Human and Canine Cells

TL;DR: The cloned MRP2 (symbol ABCC2), a MRP family member localized to the apical membrane of polarized cells, demonstrates that MRP 2 confers resistance to cytotoxic drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

cDNA cloning of the hepatocyte canalicular isoform of the multidrug resistance protein, cMrp, reveals a novel conjugate export pump deficient in hyperbilirubinemic mutant rats.

TL;DR: The results identify cMrp as a canalicular transport protein with a novel sequence and with a function similar to the one of the MRP.
