Putative ATP-binding cassette transporter sub-family C member 13 is a member of the superfamily of genes encoding ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. This family member is part of the MRP subfamily, which is involved in multi-drug resistance, but the human locus is now thought to be a pseudogene incapable of encoding a functional ABC protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants; however, not all variants have been fully described.

Highest expression in fetal liver and fetal spleen. In the adult, highest levels are found in the colon ascending and transverse. Also expressed in brain, placenta, lung, liver, pancreas and ovary. In bone marrow cells, levels are several fold higher than in peripheral blood leukocytes.
