Gene: ABCG4
Alternate names for this Gene: WHITE2
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily. 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). The encoded protein is a member of the White subfamily and plays an important role in cellular cholesterol homeostasis. This protein functions as either a homodimer or as a heterodimer with another ABC subfamily protein such as ABCG1.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 11
Location in Chromosome : 11q23.3
Description of this Gene: ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 4
