Type: | Family | Name: | ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 8 |
Description: | Members of ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporter subfamily A are full-length transporters [], which consist of a single long polypeptide chain organised into two tandemly arranged halves. Each half contains a membrane-spanning domain (MSD) followed by a cytoplasmic nucleotide binding domain (NBD) []. ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 8 (ABCA8) is expressed in human brain and may regulate lipid metabolism in oligodendrocytes and potentially plays a role in myelin formation and maintenance []. It is linked to a fatal neurodegenerative disease known as multiple system atrophy (MSA) []. | Short Name: | ABCA8 |
