Gene information for ABCA6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID23460
Official gene symbolABCA6
Full nameATP-binding cassette, sub-family A (ABC1), member 6
Aliases,EST155051,FLJ43498,
Gene summaryThe 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 and may play a role in macrophage lipid homeostasis. [provided by RefSeq]
