Abstract excerpt
ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 3 (ABCA3) is a lipid transporter within alveolar type II cells. Patients with bi-allelic variants in ABCA3 may suffer from a variable severity of interstitial lung disease. We characterized and quantified ABCA3 variants' overall lipid transport function by assessing the in vitro impairment of its intracellular trafficking and pumping activity. We expressed the results...
