Product details:
Human MRP1 ELISA kit (ab272211) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of MRP1 protein in cell and tissue extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human MRP1 with 151 pg/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
MRP1 (Multidrug Resistance-associated Protein 1), also known as ABCC1 (ATP-Binding Cassette sub-family C member 1), mediates export of organic anions and drugs from the cytoplasm. It mediates ATP-dependent transport of glutathione and glutathione conjugates, leukotriene C4, estradiol-17-beta-o-glucuronide, methotrexate, antiviral drugs and other xenobiotics. MRP1 confers resistance to anticancer drugs by decreasing accumulation of drug in cells, and by mediating ATP- and GSH-dependent drug export.

MRP1 also known as ABCC1 is a transporter protein with a mass of approximately 190 kDa. This protein belongs to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family. MRP1 actively exports a variety of substrates from cells by hydrolyzing ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate. You can find MRP1 expressed in many tissues including the lung testis and kidney. It helps in cellular detoxification by exporting organic anions and other conjugated metabolites.
Biological function summary
This protein functions as an important determinant of multidrug resistance in cancer treatment. MRP1 can form part of a larger protein complex that includes other transporters like MRP2. Through its activity MRP1 protects tissues from toxic substances by transporting them out of the cell. Its role in transporting glutathione-conjugated compounds highlights its importance in cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stress and xenobiotics.
Pathways
MRP1 participates in the glutathione metabolism and the xenobiotic efflux pathways. Both pathways involve cellular detoxification and the accumulation of anomalies can cause harmful effects in the body. MRP1 works with proteins such as GSTP1 which conjugates toxic substances with glutathione preparing them for export by MRP1. This coordination ensures efficient detoxification and protection of cells from damage.
MRP1 has associations with several conditions particularly drug resistance in various cancers and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In cancer MRP1 overexpression often results in reduced treatment efficacy due to chemotherapy drugs being expelled from the cell helping to resist their cytotoxic effects. Research indicates a connection between MRP1 and P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) in cancer drug resistance pointing to a broader resistive mechanism in which multiple transporters are involved.
