| Immunogen: | A synthetic peptide from aa region 400-500 of human ABCA8 conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the antigen. |
| Function | Isoform 1: Catalyzes ATP-dependent import of organic anions such as taurocholate and estrone sulfate. In vitro, also imports ochratoxin A. Also mediates cholesterol efflux independent of apolipoprotein, and plays a role in sphingomyelin production in oligodendrocytes. Isoform 3: Catalyzes ATP-dependent efflux of cholesterol and taurocholate. Interaction with ABCA1 potentiates cholesterol efflux to lipid-free APOA1, which regulates high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. |
