Summary: Predicted to enable ATPase-coupled transmembrane transporter activity; apolipoprotein A-I receptor binding activity; and lipid transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including corneocyte desquamation; establishment of skin barrier; and positive regulation of intracellular lipid transport. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including keratinization; positive regulation of cholesterol efflux; and positive regulation of protein localization to cell surface. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; gut; liver; lung; and skin. Used to study autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 4B. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 1; autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 4A; and autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 4B. Orthologous to human ABCA12 (ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 12). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
