About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for ABCA4:
The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC)
transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intracellular membranes. ABC genes are
divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the
ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular
eukaryotes. This protein is a retina-specific ABC transporter with N-retinylidene-PE as a substrate. It is expressed
exclusively in retina photoreceptor cells, indicating the gene product mediates transport of an essental molecule
across the photoreceptor cell membrane. Mutations in this gene are found in patients diagnosed with Stargardt disease,
a form of juvenile-onset macular degeneration. Mutations in this gene are also associated with retinitis
pigmentosa-19, cone-rod dystrophy type 3, early-onset severe retinal dystrophy, fundus flavimaculatus, and macular
degeneration age-related 2. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: ABCA4_HUMAN, P78363
Function: In the visual cycle, acts as an inward-directed retinoid flipase, retinoid substrates imported by ABCA4 from
the extracellular or intradiscal (rod) membrane surfaces to the cytoplasmic membrane surface are
all-trans-retinaldehyde (ATR) and N-retinyl-phosphatidyl-ethanolamine (NR-PE). Once transported to the cytoplasmic
surface, ATR is reduced to vitamin A by trans-retinol dehydrogenase (tRDH) and then transferred to the retinal pigment
epithelium (RPE) where it is converted to 11-cis-retinal. May play a role in photoresponse, removing ATR/NR-PE from
the extracellular photoreceptor surfaces during bleach recovery

    Polymorphism: The variant Ala-863 is present in the general population at a frequency of approximately 3% and 1% in
    Northern Europe and United States, respectively. It is a mild alteration probably leading to STGD phenotype only in
    combination with a more severe allele. The variant Glu-1961 is found with high frequency in healthy individuals of
    Somali ancestry

  • Defects in ABCA4 are the cause of Stargardt disease type 1 (STGD1) [MIM:248200]. STGD is one of the most
  • frequent causes of macular degeneration in childhood. It is characterized by macular dystrophy with juvenile-onset,
    rapidly progressive course, alterations of the peripheral retina, and subretinal deposition of lipofuscin-like
    material. STGD1 inheritance is autosomal recessive
  • Defects in ABCA4 are the cause of fundus flavimaculatus (FFM) [MIM:248200]. FFM is an autosomal recessive
  • retinal disorder very similar to Stargardt disease. In contrast to Stargardt disease, FFM is characterized by later
    onset and slowly progressive course
  • Defects in ABCA4 may be a cause of age-related macular degeneration type 2 (ARMD2) [MIM:153800]. ARMD is a
  • multifactorial eye disease and the most common cause of irreversible vision loss in the developed world. In most
    patients, the disease is manifest as ophthalmoscopically visible yellowish accumulations of protein and lipid (known
    as drusen) that lie beneath the retinal pigment epithelium and within an elastin-containing structure known as Bruch
    membrane
  • Defects in ABCA4 are the cause of cone-rod dystrophy type 3 (CORD3) [MIM:604116]. CORDs are inherited retinal
  • dystrophies belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. CORDs are characterized by retinal pigment deposits
    visible on fundus examination, predominantly in the macular region, and initial loss of cone photoreceptors followed
    by rod degeneration. This leads to decreased visual acuity and sensitivity in the central visual field, followed by
    loss of peripheral vision. Severe loss of vision occurs earlier than in retinitis pigmentosa
  • Defects in ABCA4 are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 19 (RP19) [MIM:601718]. RP leads to degeneration
  • of retinal photoreceptor cells. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field.
    As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. RP19
    is characterized by choroidal atrophy. Inheritance is autosomal recessive
