Abcb6 [Search on AGR]
Rattus norvegicus Predicted to enable several functions, including ABC-type heme transporter activity; ATP binding activity; and ATP hydrolysis activity. Involved in intracellular copper ion homeostasis. Located in early endosome membrane; endolysosome membrane; and late endosome membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria. Orthologous to human ABCB6 (ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 6 (LAN blood group)); INTERACTS WITH 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine; 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol; allethrin.

Homo sapiens 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.
