InnateDB Annotation
Summary
ABCA1 promotes the efflux of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from macrophages and accelerates recovery from LPS-induced tolerance.
ABCA1 in macrophages dampens inflammation by reducing MYD88-dependent TLR trafficking to lipid rafts, thus selectively reducing free cholesterol content in lipid rafts.
ABCA1 deletion in the myeloid lineage enhances host immune response and clearance of Listeria monocytogenes. (Demonstrated in mice)
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Mus musculus] Abca1 deletion in the myeloid lineage enhances host immune response and clearance of Listeria monocytogenes.
Entrez Gene
Summary 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. With cholesterol as its substrate, this protein functions as a cholesteral efflux pump in the cellular lipid removal pathway. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Tangier's disease and familial high-density lipoprotein deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
