ABCB5

ABCB5 is a protein found in certain cells of the body, particularly in stem cells and some cancer cells. It plays a role in transporting substances across cell membranes, which can help protect cells from harmful drugs. In the context of cancer, ABCB5 is often associated with tumor resistance to treatments, making it a target of interest for researchers aiming to improve cancer therapies. Understanding ABCB5 can provide insights into how tumors survive and potentially lead to the development of more effective treatments that overcome drug resistance.
