gene: pgp-3 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable ATPase-coupled transmembrane transporter activity and efflux transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in defense response to Gram-negative bacterium; innate immune response; and stress response to cadmium ion. Located in apical plasma membrane. Expressed in excretory canal; excretory cell; intestinal cell; intestine; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); and intrahepatic cholestasis (multiple). Is an ortholog of several human genes including ABCB1 (ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1); ABCB11 (ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 11); and ABCB4 (ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 4).
