An ABC transporter is a type of ATP-driven pumps which primarly pumps small molecules across the cell membrane. This makes them different from P-type and the F- or V-type ATPases which exclusively transport ions.[1]
an example of an ABC transporter is the calcium ion pump in the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle cells. [2]
