Background
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, and White). This encoded 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 gene is clustered among 4 other ABC1 family members on 17q24, but neither the substrate nor the function of this gene is known. Alternative splicing of this gene results in several transcript variants; however, not all variants have been fully described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

Tissue expression
Ubiquitously expressed. Highly expressed in testis, skeletal muscle, kidney, liver and placenta. Expressed in both the epithelial and mesenchymal compartments, present within the outer root sheath (ORS) of the hair follicle as well as dermal sheath (PubMed:24831815). Expressed in multiple regions of the brain, including the hippocampus, superior frontal and inferior temporal cortices (PubMed:25125465). Strongly expressed in neurons and moderately in microglia, with only weak expression in astrocytes and oligodendrocytes (PubMed:25125465).
