Recombinant Human ABCG2 protein (His tag)

Hematopoietic stem cells are known to express a membrane transporter molecule, known as P-glycoprotein (Pgp), that is encoded by the multidrug resistance gene 1 (MDR1) . Expression of Pgp appears to confer a proliferative advantage to stem cells through its anti-apoptotic effects . An additional transporter molecule known as ABCG2 (ATP-binding cassette gene 2) or Bcrp1 (Breast cancer resistance protein 1), first identified in a breast cancer cell line , is expressed on stem cells . ABCG2 belongs to a family of molecules that span the cell membrane six times and can exist as either homo or hetero dimers linked by a short intracellular flexible linker region that plays an important role in the efflux of a wide range of substrates

Broad substrate specificity ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCG2; ABCG2; ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 2; Breast cancer resistance protein; CDw338

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
