Abstract
Lionel Arnaud and colleagues identify ABCB6 as the genetic basis of the novel Lan blood group system. The human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter ABCB6 has been described as a mitochondrial porphyrin transporter essential for heme biosynthesis1, but it is also suspected to contribute to anticancer drug resistance2,3,4, as do other ABC transporters located at the plasma membrane. We identified ABCB6 as the genetic basis of the Lan blood...
