Characterization of the Human ABCG1 Gene
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
The human ABCG1 gene encodes a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of transporter proteins and is highly induced when macrophages are incubated with oxysterols. Using mRNA from oxysterol-treated human THP-1 cells together with 5'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends and polymerase chain reaction, we identified a novel ABCG1 transcript that encodes a putative protein of 786 residues containing a new...
