    Summary
    Enables protein heterodimerization activity. Contributes to cholesterol transfer activity. Involved in cholesterol efflux and excretion. Acts upstream of or within cholesterol homeostasis and phospholipid transport. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Part of receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including Peyer's patch; alimentary system; brain; liver and biliary system; and thymus. Used to study sitosterolemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arteriosclerosis; familial hyperlipidemia; gallbladder disease; obesity; and sitosterolemia. Orthologous to human ABCG8 (ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    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.

    RNA

    1. NR_104382.1 RNA Sequence

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (3) uses a different splice site and lacks a segment in 3' terminal exon, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
