Named by Dr Will Powers — at family level only

Dr Powers’ claim covers ABCC11 only as part of a broader group (see his note below), and no record in the corpus names ABCC11 individually. This is unpublished theorizing, not an established finding. Research use only, not medical advice.

Gene summary

A protein-coding gene on chromosome 16 (drug and xenobiotic transporters). The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes.

Protein reference (UniProt)

Protein: ATP-binding cassette sub-family C member 11
Function (excerpt): ATP-dependent transporter of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family that actively extrudes physiological compounds and xenobiotics from cells. Plays a role in physiological processes involving bile acids, conjugated steroids and cyclic nucleotides, including cAMP and cGMP. Mediates the ATP-dependent efflux of a range of physiological lipophilic anions, including the glutathione S-conjugates leukotriene C4 and dinitrophenyl S-glutathione, steroid sulfates, such as dehydroepiandrosterone 3-sulfate (DHEAS) and estrone 3-sulfate, glucuronides such as estradiol 17-beta-D-glucuronide (E(2)17betaG), the monoanionic bile acids glycocholate and taurocholate, and methotrexate. Plays a role in the transport of earwax components. Participates in the secretion of odorants and their precursors from the apocrine sweat glands, including the secretion of glutamine conjugates, as well as the Cys-Gly-(S) conjugates of 3-methyl-3-sulfanyl-hexanol.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Vacuole membrane; Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Apical cell membrane.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in apocrine glands (at protein level). Expressed at moderate levels in breast and testis and at very low levels in liver, brain and placenta. Localizes to axons of the central and peripheral nervous system (at protein level).

Why its pathway is in the library

Transporters set systemic exposure to finasteride/SSRIs and clear conjugated steroid metabolites — directly relevant to both drug pharmacokinetics and Powers' clearance-centered PFS mechanism.

Written for the whole drug transporters family, not for ABCC11 specifically.

Powers’ note (his unpublished theorizing)

Powers named the ABCC transporter family (2026 summit interview, unpublished) as intracellular transporter genes implicated in metabolite clearance in his experimentally verifiable mechanism; individual ABCC members not separately named.

Mentioned in 0 corpus records

No corpus record names ABCC11 directly yet. It is in the library because it sits in a pathway the corpus tracks (Drug transporters).
