Abstract: Novel human MOAT genes and their encoded proteins are provided herein. The MRP-related ABC transporters encoded by the disclosed nucleic acid sequences play a pivotal role in the efflux of pharmacologically beneficial reagents from tumor cells. MOAT genes and their encoded proteins provide valuable therapeutic targets for the design of anti-cancer agents which inhibit the aberrant growth of malignant cells.

Abstract: An apparatus for drying scuba diving gear is provided having a support member and first, second and third hanger sub-assemblies removably, slidably engageable with respect to the support member. The sub-assemblies are in vertical alignment with one another at their point of engagement with the support member. Each sub-assembly is adapted for specific pieces of scuba gear. Preferably, the support member is a vertically disposed shaft telescopically secured to an erectable/collapsible tripod assembly. An apparatus is also disclosed where the support member is a chain assembly having an attachment hook for attachment with respect to an overhead support at one end and a support bar to hold the hanger sub-assemblies upright in engagement with the chain assembly at the other end.
