Comment typeDescription
Alternative ProductsEvent=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=3; Name=1; IsoId=O95255-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; Synonyms=URG7; IsoId=O95255-2; Sequence=VSP_047315, VSP_047316; Name=3; Synonyms=Delta19Delta24; IsoId=O95255-3; Sequence=VSP_057077, VSP_057078; Note=May function as a a half transporter.;
DiseaseArterial calcification of infancy, generalized, 2 (GACI2) [MIM:614473]: A severe autosomal recessive disorder characterized by calcification of the internal elastic lamina of muscular arteries and stenosis due to myointimal proliferation. The disorder is often fatal within the first 6 months of life because of myocardial ischemia resulting in refractory heart failure. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22209248}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
DiseasePseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) [MIM:264800]: A multisystem disorder characterized by accumulation of mineralized and fragmented elastic fibers in the skin, vascular walls, and Burch membrane in the eye. Clinically, patients exhibit characteristic lesions of the posterior segment of the eye including peau d'orange, angioid streaks, and choroidal neovascularizations, of the skin including soft, ivory colored papules in a reticular pattern that predominantly affect the neck and large flexor surfaces, and of the cardiovascular system with peripheral and coronary arterial occlusive disease as well as gastrointestinal bleedings. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10811882, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10835642, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10954200, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11427982, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11536079, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11702217, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15086542, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15098239, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15459974, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16086317, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17617515, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19339160, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20034067}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Homozygous or compound heterozygous ABCC6 mutations have been found in the overwhelming majority of cases. Individuals carrying heterozygous mutations express limited manifestations of the pseudoxanthoma elasticum phenotype.
FunctionIsoform 1: May participate directly in the active transport of drugs into subcellular organelles or influence drug distribution indirectly. Transports glutathione conjugates as leukotriene-c4 (LTC4) and N-ethylmaleimide S-glutathione (NEM-GS). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11880368}.
FunctionIsoform 2: Inhibits TNF-alpha-mediated apoptosis through blocking one or more caspases. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23912081}.
InductionIsoform 2 is induced by HBV x antigen upon hepatitis B viral infection. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23912081}.

SimilarityContains 2 ABC transporter domains. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00434}.
Subcellular LocationIsoform 1: Basolateral cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12901863, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23625951}; Multi- pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00441, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12901863, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23625951}.
Subcellular LocationIsoform 2: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23912081}; Single-pass membrane protein.
