Abstract
ABCB5 encodes a full transporter (ABCB5FL) and a half transporter (ABCB5β), which is unique in the ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily. We discuss the roles of both isoforms in undifferentiated slow-cycling cells, multidrug resistance, and tumorigenesis, and their regulation pathways.
