ABCR is a member of the ABCA subclass of ATP binding cassette transporters that is
responsible for Stargardt macular disease and implicated in retinal transport across
photoreceptor disc membranes. It consists of a single polypeptide chain arranged in two
tandem halves, each having a multi-spanning membrane domain followed by a nucleotide
binding domain. To delineate between several proposed membrane topological models, we
have identified the exocytoplasmic (extracellular/lumen) N-linked glycosylation sites on …
