ABCA4 - Retinal-specific phospholipid-transporting ATPase
Order number: 70141
Description
Introducing our off-the-shelf, full-length, active, and native Retinal-specific Phospholipid-transporting ATPase ABCA4, also known as RmP. This essential membrane protein is part of the very diverse ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family that transports retinal to the cytosol to maintain the visual cycle. Mutations can cause impaired vision or blindness which makes it an attractive drug target to study.
Our ABCA4 protein is solubilized and stabilized using our innovative NativeMP™ platform. This ensures that the protein retains its native structure and full biological activity, making it ideal for research applications in opthalmology and drug discovery.
Applications:
- Screening/Validation
- Biologics Development
- Structure Determination
- Small Molecule Drug Development
The protein delivered can be used for these specific applications. When ordering, please indicate which applications you intend to use the protein for in the contact form to ensure the best results.

| Function | Flippase that catalyzes in an ATP-dependent manner the transport of retinal-phosphatidylethanolamine conjugates like the 11-cis and all-trans isomers of N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine from the lumen to the cytoplasmic leaflet of photoreceptor outer segment disk membranes, where N-cis-retinyliden e-phosphatidylethanolamine (N-cis-R-PE) is then isomerized to its all-trans isomer (N-trans-R-PE) and reduced by RDH8 to produce all-trans-retinol (all-trans-rol) and therefore prevents the accumulation of excess of 11-cis-retinal and its schiff-base conjugate and the formation of toxic bisretinoid. May display both ATPase and GTPase activity that is strongly influenced by the lipid environment and the presence of retinoid compounds. Binds the unprotonated form of N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine with high affinity in the absence of ATP, and ATP binding and hydrolysis induce a protein conformational change that causes the dissociation of N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine (By similarity). |
