GlossaryATP-Binding Cassette Transporters (ABC transporters)

proteins that use ATP to move molecules across cell membranes

ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) Transporters are a large family of proteins that use the energy from ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to transport various molecules across cellular membranes. These transporters play crucial roles in processes like drug resistance, lipid transport, and the movement of metabolic products, making them essential for maintaining cellular function and homeostasis.
