MRP2 Antibody (M2III-5) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody that detects MRP2 in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and flow cytometry (FCM). Anti-MRP2 antibody (M2III-5) is available in a non-conjugated form, allowing for versatile experimental setups. MRP2, also known as canalicular multispecific organic anion transporter (cMOAT), plays a crucial role in the excretion of various organic anions, including drugs and their metabolites, from hepatocytes into bile. This function is particularly important in the context of drug metabolism and resistance, as MRP2 helps to regulate the intracellular concentration of potentially toxic compounds, thereby influencing the pharmacokinetics of therapeutic agents. MRP2 is predominantly localized to the apical membrane of liver cells, where MRP2 facilitates the transport of conjugated substances, ensuring their elimination from the body. Understanding MRP2 function and localization is vital for developing strategies to overcome multidrug resistance in cancer therapy, as well as for predicting drug interactions and optimizing drug delivery systems.
