About ABCA8

Cytogenetic location: 17q24.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:68,867,289-68,955,392 (from NCBI)

This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 98 orthologues and 11 paralogues. Broad expression in fat (RPKM 21.2), ovary (RPKM 21.1) and 22 other tissues.

Summary

The membrane-associated 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 intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. The encoded protein may regulate lipid metabolism and be involved in the formation and maintenance of myelin. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
