Description
The 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
