Gene information for ABCA7 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10347
Official gene symbolABCA7
Full nameATP-binding cassette, sub-family A (ABC1), member 7
Aliases,ABCA-SSN,ABCX,FLJ40025,
Gene summaryThe 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 intra-cellular 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. This full transporter has been detected predominantly in myelo-lymphatic tissues with the highest expression in peripheral leukocytes, thymus, spleen, and bone marrow. The function of this protein is not yet known; however, the expression pattern suggests a role in lipid homeostasis in cells of the immune system. [provided by RefSeq]
