Summary: Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; glycerophospholipid flippase activity; and retinal binding activity. Predicted to be involved in phospholipid translocation and retinal metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within phospholipid transfer to membrane; photoreceptor cell maintenance; and visual perception. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic vesicle; endoplasmic reticulum; and photoreceptor outer segment. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in fundus dystrophy and retinal degeneration (multiple). Orthologous to human ABCA4 (ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 4).

miR-351-3p promotes rat amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stromal cell proliferation via targeting the coding sequence of Abca4.
Title: miR-351-3p promotes rat amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stromal cell proliferation via targeting the coding sequence of Abca4.
Glycosylated ABCA4 protein is expressed in rat choroid plexus epithelial cells. ABCA4 may play a role in the function of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier and affect CSF conditions.
Title: Retinal-specific ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABCR/ABCA4) is expressed at the choroid plexus in rat brain.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
