ABCC6 ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 6

Gene ID: 368, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ARA; PXE; MLP1; MRP6; PXE1; URG7; ABC34; GACI2; MOATE; MOAT-E; EST349056

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). The encoded protein, a member of the MRP subfamily, is involved in multi-drug resistance. Mutations in this gene cause pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
