Multidrug resistance-associated protein 6 (MRP6) also known as ATP-binding cassette sub-family C member 6 (ABCC6) and multi-specific organic anion transporter E (MOAT-E) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ABCC6 gene.[1][2][3] The protein encoded by the ABCC6 gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters.[1]

ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MRP subfamily which is involved in multidrug resistance.[4]

Pathology

Mutations in this protein cause pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE).[5] The most common mutations, R1141X and 23-29del, account for about 25% of the found mutations.[6][7]

Premature atherosclerosis is also associated with mutations in the ABCC6 gene, even in those without PXE.[8]
