ABCA5 - ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 5 Gene
Also Known as HTC3; ABC13; EST90625
Species: Homo sapiens
About ABCA5
This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 219 orthologues, 11 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in skin (RPKM 10.7), small intestine (RPKM 5.7) and 25 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, but neither the substrate nor the function of this gene is known. Alternative splicing of this gene results in several transcript variants; however, not all variants have been fully described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
