| abstractText | The adrenoleukodystrophy and adrenoleukodystrophy related proteins belong to a new family of half ATP-binding cassette transporters which are localized within the peroxisomal membrane and whose functions are still unknown. They could possibly homo- or heterodimerize resulting in transporters with similar or distinct functions. The expression of adrenoleukodystrophy and adrenoleukodystrophy related genes was studied at the mRNA and protein levels in adult mouse tissues and several human cell lines. We found that adrenoleukodystrophy and adrenoleukodystrophy related genes have strikingly different expression in most mouse tissues and human cell lines analyzed, indicating that adrenoleukodystrophy and adrenoleukodystrophy related proteins do not function as obligatory partners but might rather fulfill similar metabolic functions in different tissues. |
