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 White subfamily. It is involved in macrophage cholesterol and phospholipids transport, and may regulate cellular lipid homeostasis in other cell types. Six alternative splice variants have been identified.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ABCG1 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 ABCG1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ABCG1 could matter depends on whether native ABCG1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ABCG1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native ABCG1 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 ABCG1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
