Plasma Level of Pyrophosphate Is Low in Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum Owing to Mutations in the ABCC6 Gene, but It Does Not Correlate with ABCC6 Genotype [PDF]
Background: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), a monogenic disorder resulting in calcification affecting the skin, eyes and peripheral arteries, is caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene, and is associated with low plasma inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi). It is unknown how ABCC6 genotype affects plasma PPi.

Copy number variations of the ATP-binding cassette transporter
Background The ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCC6 gene is located on chromosome 16 between its two pseudogenes (ABCC6P1 and ABCC6P2). Previously, we have shown that ABCC6P1 is transcribed and affects ABCC6 at the transcriptional level.

The molecular and physiological roles of ABCC6: more than meets the eye
Abnormal mineralization occurs in the context of several common conditions, including advanced age, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, chronic renal failure and certain genetic conditions. Metabolic, mechanical, infectious, and inflammatory injuries promote

Extracellular ATP Regulates CD73 and ABCC6 Expression in HepG2 Cells [PDF]
The ATP-binding cassette sub-family C member 6 transporter (ABCC6) is an ATP dependent transporter mainly found in the basolateral plasma membrane of hepatic and kidney cells. Mutations in ABCC6 gene were associated to the Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE),

The human ABCC6 gene encodes an ABC transporter protein expressed primarily in the liver and to a lesser extent in the kidneys and the intestines. We review here the mechanisms of this restricted tissue-specific expression and the role of hepatocyte ...

Regulation of ABCC6 trafficking and stability by a conserved C-terminal PDZ-like sequence. [PDF]
Mutations in the ABCC6 ABC-transporter are causative of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). The loss of functional ABCC6 protein in the basolateral membrane of the kidney and liver is putatively associated with altered secretion of a circulatory factor. As a

Association of ATP‐binding cassette transporter genomic alterations and expressions with patient survival in breast and prostate cancer [PDF]
ATP‐Binding Cassette (ABC) transporters play a key role in drug resistance and cancer progression. We analyzed the correlation between ABC transporter gene alterations and patient survival in breast and prostate cancers using large‐scale genomic datasets.

ABCC6 as a Target in Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum [PDF]
The ABCC6 gene encodes an organic anion transporter protein, ABCC6/MRP6. Mutations in the gene cause a rare, recessive genetic disease, pseudoxanthoma elasticum, while the loss of one ABCC6 allele is a genetic risk factor in coronary artery disease. We review here the information available on gene structure, evolution as well as the present knowledge ...
