Cloning of the ABCG2 efflux transporter from rabbit placenta (rbABCG2).
Identification of the structural homology of rbABCG2 and hABCG2.
Detection of the functional activity of the ABCG2 transporter in rabbit placenta.
The rbABCG2 and the hABCG2 have comparable drug substrate specificity.
MDCKII-rbABCG2 cells are a suitable model to study transport in rabbit placenta.
