| Background Descriptions | he ATP binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of membrane transporters is one of the largest protein classes known, and counts for numerous proteins involved in trafficking of biological molecules across membranes. ABCG4 protein is highly expressed in both human and mouse brain, it is a 646aa molecule in human (chr 11q23) and mouse. It is an integral membrane protein may be involved in macrophage lipid homeostasis. The ABCG4 protein’s abundant expression in brain and close evolutionary relationship to the other members of the subfamily suggests a potential role in cholesterol transport. |

| Function | ATP-dependent transporter of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family that may be involved in the cellular efflux of sterols, in particular cholesterol and desmosterol (a cholesterol precursor), to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (PubMed:15240127, PubMed:33141061). May play an important role in the removal of amyloid-beta peptides from brain, in a process that can be antagonized by desmosterol. However it is unclear whether ABCG4 can directly transport amyloid-beta peptides or whether peptide export may be facilitated due to changes in the membrane lipid environment (By similarity). Induces apoptosis in various cells (PubMed:27228027). |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
