gene: pgp-5 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable ATPase-coupled transmembrane transporter activity and efflux transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to bacterium; response to nematicide; and stress response to metal ion. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Expressed in intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); and hematologic cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human ABCB1 (ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1) and ABCB4 (ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 4).
