Function | Catalyzes the efflux of phospholipids such as sphingomyelin, cholesterol and its oxygenated derivatives like 7beta- hydroxycholesterol and this transport is coupled to hydrolysis of ATP (PubMed:17408620, PubMed:24576892). The lipid efflux is ALB-dependent (PubMed:16702602). Is an active component of the macrophage lipid export complex. Could also be involved in intracellular lipid transport processes. The role in cellular lipid homeostasis may not be limited to macrophages. Prevents cell death by transporting cytotoxic 7beta- hydroxycholesterol (PubMed:17408620). |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Golgi apparatus membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane Note=Predominantly localized in the intracellular compartments mainly associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi membranes |
Tissue Location | Expressed in several tissues. Expressed in macrophages; expression is increased in macrophages from patients with Tangier disease. |

Background
ABCG1(Atp-binding cassette, subfamily g, member 1) also known as ABC8, ABC TRANSPORTER 8 or WHITE, DROSOPHILA, HOMOLOG OF, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ABCG1 gene. ABCG1 is a regulator of macrophage cholesterol and phospholipid transport. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette(ABC) transporters.The ABCG1 gene is mapped on 21q22.3. This protein is a member of the White subfamily. It is involved in macrophage cholesterol and phospholipids transport, and may regulate cellular lipid homeostasis in other cell types. ABCG1 is induced in monocyte-derived macrophages during cholesterol influx mediated by acetylated low-density lipoprotein. Inhibition of ABCG1 protein expression using an antisense strategy resulted in reduced HDL3-dependent efflux of cholesterol and choline-phospholipids. In macrophages, silencing of GPS2 by RNA interference reduced ABCG1 expression and diminished ABCG1-mediated cholesterol efflux.
