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). The encoded protein, a member of the MRP subfamily, is involved in multi-drug resistance. Mutations in this gene cause pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ABCC6 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ABCC6 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ABCC6 could matter depends on whether native ABCC6 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ABCC6 is annotated at the cell surface, where native ABCC6 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 ABCC6 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
