About ABCB6

Cytogenetic location: 2q35 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:219,209,772-219,218,958 (from NCBI)

This gene has 13 transcripts (splice variants), 241 orthologues, 10 paralogues and is associated with 14 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 14.1), ovary (RPKM 9.7) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. This protein is a member of the heavy metal importer subfamily and plays a role in porphyrin transport. This gene is the molecular basis of the Langereis (Lan) blood group antigen and mutations in this gene underlie familial pseudohyperkalemia and dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria.
