The lipid translocase, ABCA4: seeing is believing.

The FEBS journal - 1 Sept 2011

Pollock Naomi Laura, Callaghan Richard

Abstract excerpt

Mutations to members of the A subfamily of ATP binding cassette (ABC) proteins are responsible for a number of diseases; typically they are associated with aberrant cellular lipid transport processes. Mutations to the ABCA4 protein are linked to a number of visual disorders including Stargardt's disease and retinitis pigmentosa. Over 500 disease-associated mutations in ABCA4 have been demonstrated; however, the...
