Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for ABCA7(NM_019112.3) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
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 ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. This full transporter has been detected predominantly in myelo-lymphatic tissues with the highest expression in peripheral leukocytes, thymus, spleen, and bone marrow. The function of this protein is not yet known; however, the expression pattern suggests a role in lipid homeostasis in cells of the immune system. [provided by RefSeq].
Gene References into function
- ABCA7 has the ability to bind apolipoproteins and promote efflux of cellular phospholipids without cholesterol, and has a possible role of ABCA7 in cellular phospholipid metabolism in peripheral tissues
- Overexpression of ABCA7 in HeLa cells resulted in increased expression of intracellular and cell surface ceramide and elevated intracellular phosphatidylserine levels.
- ABCA7 compensates the function of ABCA1 for release of cell cholesterol in a certain condition(s).
- Alternative splicing could be involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of the expression and function of human ABCA7
- the ABCA7-mediated reaction generated mostly small cholesterol-poor particles; ABCA7 produces this HDL subfraction only as a very minor component.
- These studies reveal a major role of ABCA7 and not -A1 in the clearance of apoptotic cells and therefore suggest that ABCA7 is an authentic orthologue of CED-7.
