About Abca4

Summary

Predicted to enable ATPase-coupled transmembrane transporter activity; glycerophospholipid flippase activity; and retinal binding activity. Predicted to be involved in phospholipid translocation and retinal metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within phospholipid transfer to membrane; photoreceptor cell maintenance; and visual perception. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic vesicle; endoplasmic reticulum; and photoreceptor outer segment. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in fundus dystrophy and retinal degeneration (multiple). Orthologous to human ABCA4 (ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 4).
