ABCB7 Polyclonal Antibody

The peroxisomal membrane contains several ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, ABCD14 that are known to be present in the human peroxisome membrane (1) . All four proteins are ABC half-transporters, which dimerize to form an active transporter (1) . A mutation in the ABCD1 causes X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), a peroxisomal disorder which affects lipid storage (2,3) . ABCD2 in mouse, is expressed at high levels in the brain and adrenal organs, which are adversely affected in X-ALD (4) . The peroxisomal membrane comprises 2 quantitatively major proteins, PMP22 and ABCD3 (5) . ABCD3 is associated with irregularly shaped vesicles which may be defective peroxisomes or peroxisome precursors (5) . ABCD4 localizes to peroxisomes (1) . The genes which encode ABCD14 map to human chromosome Xq28, 12q11-q12, 1p22-p21 and 14q24.3, respectively (3,68) . ABCB7 is a half-transporter involved in the transport of heme from the mitochondria to the cytosol and maps to human chromosome Xq13.1-q13.3 (9) .
