Gene Description

ABCC1 (MRP1) is a 1531-residue, 17-transmembrane-helix ATP-binding cassette transporter of the ABCC subfamily that couples ATP binding and hydrolysis at its two cytoplasmic nucleotide-binding domains to the active, unidirectional efflux of organic anions across the plasma membrane. Its highest-affinity physiological substrate is the glutathione S-conjugate leukotriene C4, and it transports a broad range of glutathione-, glucuronide- and sulfate-conjugated compounds (e.g. estradiol-17-glucuronide, bilirubin glucuronides, sulfated bile acids, prostaglandin A2-glutathione conjugates) as well as free reduced and oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG). Many unmodified lipophilic drugs (anthracyclines, vinca alkaloids) are co-transported with glutathione, making MRP1 a major determinant of multidrug resistance in tumour cells. Beyond detoxification it exports the signaling lipid sphingosine-1-phosphate and the immunostimulatory cyclic dinucleotide 2'3'-cGAMP, thereby modulating mast-cell migration, inflammation and cGAS-STING-dependent type I interferon responses. In polarized epithelia MRP1 localizes predominantly to the basolateral membrane, where it contributes to cytoprotection, glutathione redox homeostasis, leukotriene release and xenobiotic efflux at tissue barriers (e.g. Sertoli cells of the blood-testis barrier, choroid plexus epithelium). Loss-of-function variants cause autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss (DFNA77).

Reason: This root-level transporter term is entailed by the specific activities asserted elsewhere (ABC-type xenobiotic transporter activity GO:0008559 and xenobiotic transmembrane transporter activity GO:0042910, both ACCEPT). It judges the term's granularity, not the truth of the claim.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Immunofluorescence 'cell junction' call for a basolateral-membrane transporter.
Reason: MRP1 is a basolateral/lateral plasma-membrane efflux pump, not a junctional protein; lateral-membrane staining in an IF screen is readily misread as cell-junction localization. Over-annotation.

TAS
Reactome:R-HSA-1660661

Summary: MRP1 exports S1P but performs no sphingolipid biosynthetic step.
Reason: MRP1 effluxes the end-product sphingosine-1-phosphate; it does not catalyse or contribute structure/cofactor to sphingolipid biosynthesis. Participation test fails, so the biosynthetic-process annotation is an over-annotation (the real role is S1P export).

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Is MRP1 a bona fide physiological cobalamin (vitamin B12) exporter in humans, and does loss of this activity contribute to any clinical B12-handling phenotype?

Q: What is the relative physiological contribution of MRP1 to glutathione redox homeostasis in the CNS versus other GSH-export routes (e.g. connexin hemichannels)?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Reconstitute purified human MRP1 in proteoliposomes and measure ATP-dependent cobalamin transport directly, to resolve whether cobalamin is a genuine MRP1 substrate.

Experiment: Use MRP1-selective inhibition/knockout in primary human astrocytes and brain endothelial/choroid-plexus cells to quantify MRP1's contribution to GSH export and xenobiotic efflux at CNS barriers under oxidative-stress conditions.
