Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for ABCG1(NM_016818.2) 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 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.

- The splice variant ABCG1(666) may be the most prominent form of functional ABCG1 expressed in the human.
- ABCG1 and ABCG4 act in concert with ABCA1 to maximize the removal of excess cholesterol from cells and to generate cholesterol-rich lipoprotein particles
- NPC1 protein function is non-essential for the trafficking and removal of cellular cholesterol by ApoAI if the down-stream defects in ABCA1 and ABCG1 regulation in NPC disease cells are corrected using an LXR agonist
- Two genes of the cholesterol efflux system (ABCA1 and ABCG1) were down-regulated in HCAECs exposed to uraemic plasma.
- ABCG1 plays a significant role in the regulation of neuronal cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein E discs.

- In intermediate phenotypes of suicidal behavior,ABCG1 might act on suicidal behavior through these traits.
- Results show that ABCG1 mRNA expression increased in response to dexamethasone in primary rat hepatocytes however, the effect was absent or inhibitory in human HepG2 cells and THP-1 macrophages due to low glucocorticoid receptor levels.
