| Scientific background: | ABCG4 (ATP-Binding Cassette, Subfamily G, Member 4), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ABCG4 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is included in the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. This protein is a member of the White subfamily and is expressed predominantly in liver tissue. By genomic sequence analysis, Engel et al. (2001) mapped the ABCG4 gene to chromosome 11q23.3. Engel et al. (2001) demonstrated 5-fold induction of ABCG4 following treatment of normal monocyte-derived macrophages with the LXR and RXR agonists 9-cis retinoic acid and 22R hydroxycholesterol. Removal of cholesterol from macrophages by cyclodextrin decreased ABCG4 message levels. |
