The human ATP-binding cassette family C member 6 (ABCC6) gene encodes an ABC transporter protein (ABCC6), primarily expressed in liver and kidney. Mutations in the ABCC6 gene cause pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), an autosomal recessive connective tissue ...

ATP Binding Cassette family efflux proteins ABCB1 and ABCG2 have previously been demonstrated to interact with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs); however, evidence for the interaction of other potentially relevant drug transporters with TKIs is lacking ...

ABCC6 Mutation in Patients with Angioid Streaks
Angioid streaks (AS) are hereditary eye conditions caused by breaks in the elastic layer of Bruch's membrane. Patients with AS are also frequently affected with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). The locus of PXE has been reported to exist in chromosome 16p13.1, and the ABCC6 gene in this locus has been identified as the causal gene of PXE.

A novel ABCC6 variant causative of pseudoxanthoma elasticum [PDF]
AbstractPseudoxanthoma elasticum is an autosomal recessive heritable disorder caused by mutations in ABCC6. We describe two siblings showing typical skin lesions and a clinical diagnosis of pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Genetic analysis of ABCC6 revealed a novel homozygous c.4041G > A variant located in the last position of exon 28 that compromises the ...

Mutagenic Analysis of the Putative ABCC6 Substrate-Binding Cavity Using a New Homology Model [PDF]
Inactivating mutations in ABCC6 underlie the rare hereditary mineralization disorder pseudoxanthoma elasticum. ABCC6 is an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) integral membrane protein that mediates the release of ATP from hepatocytes into the bloodstream.

ABCC6 knockdown in HepG2 cells induces a senescent-like cell phenotype
Background Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is characterized by progressive ectopic mineralization of elastic fibers in dermal, ocular and vascular tissues. No effective treatment exists.

Identification of a New Splice Variant of the Human ABCC6 Transporter [PDF]
ABCC6 is a member of the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) gene subfamily C that encodes a protein (MRP6) involved in active transport of intracellular compounds to the extracellular environment. Mutations in ABCC6 cause pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), an autosomal recessive disorder of the connective tissue characterized by progressive ...

Retinal findings in carriers of monoallelic ABCC6 mutations [PDF]
AimBiallelic ABCC6 mutations cause pseudoxanthoma elasticum, a systemic disease characterised by calcification of elastic tissue and a specific retinal phenotype. In this study, we investigated if monoallelic ABCC6 mutations are also associated with retinal alterations.MethodsIn this prospective, cross-sectional, monocentre case–control study, carriers

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), a heritable ectopic mineralization disorder, is caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene. Null mice (Abcc6(-/-) ) recapitulate the genetic, histopathologic and ultrastructural features of PXE, and they demonstrate early and ...
