Target
ABCB5
(ATP-Binding Cassette, Sub-Family B (MDR/TAP), Member 5 (ABCB5))
ABCB5 belongs to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily of integral membrane proteins. These proteins participate in ATP-dependent transmembrane transport of structurally diverse molecules ranging from small ions, sugars, and peptides to more complex organic molecules.
