Gene nameABCG4
Protein nameATP binding cassette subfamily G member 4
ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 4 (EC 7.6.2.-)
SynonymsWHITE2
DescriptionFUNCTION: ATP-dependent transporter of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family that may be involved in the cellular efflux of sterols, in particular cholesterol and desmosterol (a cholesterol precursor), to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) . May play an important role in the removal of amyloid-beta peptides from brain, in a process that can be antagonized by desmosterol. However it is unclear whether ABCG4 can directly transport amyloid-beta peptides or whether peptide export may be facilitated due to changes in the membrane lipid environment (By similarity). Induces apoptosis in various cells . .
