ABCB1 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

Belongs to the family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Also known as AtMDR1.Possibly regulates auxin-dependent responses by influencing basipetal auxin transport in the root. Exerts nonredundantly overlapping functions with the ABC transporter encoded by AT3G28860. PGP1 mediates cellular efflux of IAA and interacts with PIN genes that may confer an accelerated vectoral component to PGP-mediated transport. The non-polar localization of PGP1 at root and shoot apices, where IAA gradient-driven transport is impaired, may be required to confer directionality to auxin transport in those tissues.

Auxin efflux transporter that acts as a negative regulator of light signaling to promote hypocotyl elongation. Mediates the accumulation of chlorophyll and anthocyanin, as well as the expression of genes in response to light. Participates directly in auxin efflux and thus regulates the polar (presumably basipetal) auxin transport (from root tips to root elongating zone). Transports also some auxin metabolites such as oxindoleacetic acid and indoleacetaldehyde. Involved in diverse auxin-mediated responses including gravitropism, phototropism and lateral root formation. Confers resistance to herbicides such as dicamba, pendimethalin, oryzalin, and monosodium acid methanearsonate (MSMA), but not to herbicides such as glyphosate, atrazine, bentazon and fluazifop-p-butyl. Mediates also resistance to xenobiotics such as cycloheximide and the cytokinin N6-(2-isopentenyl)adenine (2IP).
