Entrez gene summary

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. The function of this protein has not yet been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Staining summary

Adrenal cortical cells and cells in testis exhibited distinct cytoplasmic and membranous staining. Lung, hepatocytes, decidual cells and a subset of neuronal cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. Peripheral nerves were distinctly stained. Remaining normal tissues were negative.
