Abcc6 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables several functions, including ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and inorganic diphosphate transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including inorganic diphosphate transport; intracellular phosphate ion homeostasis; and xenobiotic transmembrane transport. Located in apical plasma membrane; basolateral plasma membrane; and lateral plasma membrane. Used to study pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arterial calcification of infancy; coronary artery disease; and pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Orthologous to human ABCC6 (ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Abcc6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
