Pseudogene in the: species Homo sapiens
Putative ATP-binding cassette transporter sub-family C member 13 is: a protein that is not present in humans. In humans, ABCC13 is a pseudogene.
Function※
This gene is a member of the——superfamily of genes encoding ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, "MRP," ALD, OABP, GCN20, and White). This family member is part of the "MRP subfamily," which is involved in multi-drug resistance, but the human locus is now thought——to be, a pseudogene incapable of encoding functional ABC protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants; however, not all variants have been fully described.
