Abcg1 ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 1 [ Mus musculus (house mouse) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 11307)

Symbol: Abcg1

Full name: ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: Abc8; White

Summary: The 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 intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the White subfamily. The human protein is involved in macrophage cholesterol efflux and may regulate cellular lipid homeostasis in other cell types.
