Synonyms | WHITE2 |
Function | ATP-dependent transporter of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family that may be involved in the cellular efflux of sterols, in particular cholesterol and desmosterol (a cholesterol precursor), to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (PubMed:15240127, PubMed:33141061). May play an important role in the removal of amyloid-beta peptides from brain, in a process that can be antagonized by desmosterol. However it is unclear whether ABCG4 can directly transport amyloid-beta peptides or whether peptide export may be facilitated due to changes in the membrane lipid environment (By similarity). Induces apoptosis in various cells (PubMed:27228027). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91WA9}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endosome membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91WA9}; Multi- pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed specifically in the brain and the eye. |

Background
The protein encoded by this gene is included in thesuperfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABCproteins transport various molecules across extra- andintra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinctsubfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). Thisprotein is a member of the White subfamily and is expressedpredominantly in liver tissue. The function has not yet beendetermined but may involve cholesterol transport. Alternate splicevariants have been described but their full length sequences havenot been determined.
