Application

Monoclonal Anti-ABCA1 antibody produced in mouse has been used in confocal laser scanning microscopy and Western blot technique.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 1 (ABCA1) functions as a phospholipid and/or cholesterol transporter. ABCA1 interacts with its ligand apolipoprotein to regulate cholesterol trafficking. Mutation in the gene is associated with the development of Tangier disease and familial hypoalipoproteinemia.

General description

ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 1 (ABCA1) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 9q31.1. The encoded protein belongs to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC)1 family of membrane transporters.

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. With cholesterol as its substrate, this protein functions as a cholesteral efflux pump in the cellular lipid removal pathway. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Tangier′s disease and familial high-density lipoprotein deficiency. (provided by RefSeq)
