Abcc8 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable adenyl ribonucleotide binding activity; monoatomic cation transmembrane transporter activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; negative regulation of blood-brain barrier permeability; and negative regulation of low-density lipoprotein particle clearance. Located in sarcolemma and synaptic vesicle membrane. Part of inward rectifying potassium channel. Is active in presynaptic membrane. Used to study brain edema; cardiac arrest; hypoglycemia; and middle cerebral artery infarction. Biomarker of Parkinsonism; epilepsy; sciatic neuropathy; and status epilepticus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glucose metabolism disease (multiple) and hypertension. Orthologous to human ABCC8 (ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 8).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Abcc8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
