Summary
Predicted to enable ABC-type xenobiotic transporter activity and lipid transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cholesterol efflux; positive regulation of cholesterol efflux; and sphingomyelin biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Orthologous to human ABCA8 (ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
