ABCA8

ABC-type organic anion transporter ABCA8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ABCA8 gene.^[1]

The membrane-associated 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 intracellular membranes. This protein is a member of the ABCA subfamily. Members of the ABCA subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes.^[1]
