Protein Coding Gene : Abca4 ATP-binding cassette, sub-family A member 4

Primary Identifier  MGI:109424 Organism  mouse, laboratory
Chromosome  3 NCBI Gene Number  11304
Mgi Type  protein coding gene
description  FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)

Enables N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine flippase activity. Acts upstream of or within phospholipid transfer to membrane; photoreceptor cell maintenance; and visual perception. Located in photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in nervous system and retina. Used to study Stargardt disease; age related macular degeneration 2; cone-rod dystrophy 3; and retinitis pigmentosa 19. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in fundus dystrophy and retinal degeneration (multiple). Orthologous to human ABCA4 (ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 4).
PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for targeted mutations that inactivate the gene display delayed rod dark adaptation and are a model for juvenile macular degeneration. [provided by MGI curators]
