ABCD2 Products

The protein encoded by the ABCD2 gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABCproteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into sevendistinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ALD subfamily,which is involved in peroxisomal import of fatty acids and/or fatty acyl-CoAs in the organelle. All known peroxisomalABC transporters are half transporters ...
