ABCC6 and pseudoxanthoma elasticum
ABCC6 belongs to the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) gene subfamily C. This protein family is involved in a large variety of physiological processes, such as signal transduction, protein secretion, drug and antibiotic resistance, and ...

Gene expression and Western Blot analysis of ABCC6.
(a) Quantification of ABCC6 mRNA expression in human dermal fibroblasts from healthy controls (n = 5; white) and PXE patients (n = 6; black). Effect of siRNA-mediated knockdown on ABCC6 gene expression: fibroblasts transfected with a scramble siRNA ...

Alteration of ABCC6 trafficking by the PDZ-like C-terminus.
To evaluate the potential role of the PDZ-like sequences at the C-terminus of ABCC6, wildtype and mutant proteins were expressed in HEK293 cells and evaluated by western blotting and immunofluorescence.

The level of hepatic ABCC6 expression determines the severity of calcification after cardiac injury [PDF]
Because vascular or cardiac mineralization is inversely correlated with morbidity and long-term survival, we investigated the role of ABCC6 in the calcification response to cardiac injury in mice. By using two models of infarction, nonischemic cryoinjury

Expression and in vivo rescue of human ABCC6 disease-causing mutants in mouse liver.
Loss-of-function mutations in ABCC6 can cause chronic or acute forms of dystrophic mineralization described in disease models such as pseudoxanthoma elasticum (OMIM 26480) in human and dystrophic cardiac calcification in mice.

ABCC6 mutations in Italian families affected by pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE)
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a genetic disorder, characterized by cutaneous, ocular and cardiovascular clinical symptoms, caused by mutations in a gene (ABCC6) that encodes for MRP6 (Multidrug Resistance associated Protein 6), an ATP-binding cassette membrane transporter. The ABCC6 gene was sequenced in 38 unrelated PXE Italian families.

IntroductionPseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare disease caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene. Vitamin K1 is involved in the posttranslational carboxylation of some proteins related to inhibition of the calcification process.

Background Pseudogenes are an integral component of the human genome. Little attention, however, has so far been paid to the phenomenon that some pseudogenes are transcriptionally active.
