OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MRP subfamily which is involved in multi-drug resistance. This family member plays a role in cellular detoxification as a pump for its substrate, organic anions. It may also function in prostaglandin-mediated cAMP signaling in ciliogenesis. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ABCC4 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ABCC4 could matter depends on whether native ABCC4 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ABCC4 is annotated at the cell surface, where native ABCC4 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label ABCC4 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
