ABCA8  
    


    
      Official symbol:  ABCA8
      Full name:  ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 8
      Location:  17q24.2
      Also known as:  KIAA0822
      Entrez ID:  10351
      Ensembl ID:  ENSG00000141338
      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 encoded protein may regulate lipid metabolism and be involved in the formation and maintenance of myelin. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
