ABCA6 - ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 6 Gene
Also Known as EST155051
Species: Homo sapiens
About ABCA6
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 124 orthologues and 11 paralogues. Broad expression in liver (RPKM 14.4), urinary bladder (RPKM 9.9) and 19 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, and White). This encoded protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. This gene is clustered among 4 Other ABC1 family members on 17q24 and may play a role in macrophage lipid homeostasis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
