General description
Retinal-specific ATP-binding cassette transporter (UniProt F1MWM0/P78363; also known as ATP-binding cassette sub-family A member 4, ABC transporter A4, RIM ABC transporter, RIM Protein) is encoded by the ABCA4 gene in bovine species. ABC transporter A4, a ~250 kDa single-chain, is a multi-pass membrane protein of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters that is localized to the disk margins of vertebrate photoreceptor outer segments. It is implicated in the clearance of all-trans retinal derivatives from rod and cone photoreceptor cells following photoexcitation as part of the visual cycle. ABC transporter A4 is composed of two symmetrically organized halves, each comprising six membrane-spanning helices, a large glycosylated exocytoplasmic domain located inside the disk, and a cytoplasmic domain with an ATP-binding cassette. Mutations in ABCA4 are known to cause Stargardt macular degeneration, which is an autosomal recessive form of juvenile macular degeneration associated with a severe loss in vision. (Ref.: Tsybovsky, Y et al. (2010). Adv. Exp. Med. Biol. 703, 105-125).
