Description
Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 4(ABCG4) detection. Tested with WB in Human, Mouse, Rat.
Background: ABCG4(ATP-Binding Cassette, Subfamily G, Member 4), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ABCG4 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is included in the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette(ABC) transporters. This protein is a member of the White subfamily and is expressed predominantly in liver tissue. By genomic sequence analysis, Engel et al.(2001) mapped the ABCG4 gene to chromosome 11q23.3. Engel et al.(2001) demonstrated 5-fold induction of ABCG4 following treatment of normal monocyte-derived macrophages with the LXR and RXR agonists 9-cis retinoic acid and 22R hydroxycholesterol. Removal of cholesterol from macrophages by cyclodextrin decreased ABCG4 message levels
