Summary: The membrane-associated 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 intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. This protein was the first of the ABC transporters to be observed in photoreceptors and may play a role in the photoresponse. Mutations in the human gene are found in patients diagnosed with Stargardt disease and are associated with retinitis pigmentosa-19 and macular degeneration age-related 2.

ABCA4 functions to recycle retinaldehyde released during proteolysis of rhodopsin in retinal pigment epithelium endolysosomes following daily phagocytosis of distal photoreceptor OS. ABCA4 deficiency in the retinal pigment epithelium may play a role in the pathogenesis of Recessive Stargardt disease 1.

we show that the p.Asn965Ser ABCA4 variant expresses at half the level of WT ABCA4, partially mislocalizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of photoreceptors, is devoid of N-Ret-PE activated ATPase activity, and causes an increase in autofluorescence and the bisretinoid A2E associated with lipofuscin deposits in retinal pigment epithelial cells as found in Stargardt patients and Abca4 knockout mice.

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.
