ABCD4 Antibodies

The peroxisomal membrane contains several ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, ABCD1-4 that are known to be present in the human peroxisome membrane. All four proteins are ABC half-transporters, which dimerize to form an active transporter. A mutation in the ABCD1 gene causes X-linked adreno-leukodystrophy (X-ALD), a peroxisomal disorder which affects lipid storage. ABCD2 in mouse is expressed at high levels in the brain and adrenal organs, which are adversely affected in X-ALD. The peroxisomal membrane comprises two quantitatively major proteins, PMP22 and ABCD3. ABCD3 is associated with irregularly shaped vesicles which may be defective peroxisomes or ...
