ABCA5 Antibody

Description

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
