Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable ATPase-coupled transmembrane transporter activity; apolipoprotein A-I receptor binding activity; and lipid transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including corneocyte desquamation; establishment of skin barrier; and positive regulation of intracellular lipid transport. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including keratinization; positive regulation of cholesterol efflux; and positive regulation of protein localization to cell surface. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; gut; liver; lung; and skin. Used to study autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 4B. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 1; autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 4A; and autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 4B. Orthologous to human ABCA12 (ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 12).
