Abstract excerpt
ABCA4, also known as ABCR or the rim protein, is a member of the ABCA subfamily of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters expressed in vertebrate rod and cone photoreceptor cells and localized to outer segment disk membranes. ABCA4 is organized in two tandem halves, each consisting of a transmembrane segment followed successively by a large exocytoplasmic domain, a multispanning membrane domain, and a...
