摘要: ABCA4 是三磷酸腺苷结合盒转运体亚家族ABCA 中的一员, 在脊椎动物的视锥和视杆细胞中表达。ABCA4, 又被称为辐射蛋白和ABCR,分为两个区域, 每个区域有跨膜区、糖基化胞外域和核苷酸结合结构域各一个。ABCA4 的基因编码区有超过500 个的突变, 这些突变与常染色体隐性遗传的视网膜退行性疾病谱相关, 包括Stargardt's 黄斑退变、视锥-视杆细胞营养不良和视网膜色素变性的一个亚型等。对ABCA4 的多项研究显示,ABCA4 的作用是作为视黄基磷脂酰乙醇胺的转运体, 在光激发后, 将光感受器上的有活性的视黄醛衍生物转运掉。通过对ABCA4 遗传和分子学的了解, 使得治疗Stargardt's 病和ABCA4相关的其他视网膜退行性疾病逐渐成为可能。

Abstract: ABCA4 is a member of the ABCA subfamily of ATP binding cassette (ABC)transporters that is expressed in rod and cone photoreceptors of the vertebrate retina.ABCA4, also known as the Rim protein and ABCR, is organized as two tandem halves, each containing one transmembrane domain, one glyosylated extracellular domain and nucleotide-binding domain. Over 500 mutations in the gene encoding ABCA4 are associated with a spectrum of related autosomal recessive retinal degenerative diseases including Stargardt macular degeneration, cone-rod dystrophy and a subset of retinitis pigmentosa.Biochemical studies on the purified ABCA4 together with analysis of ABCA4 knockout mice and patients with Stragardt disease have implicated ABCA4 as a retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine transporter that facilitates the removal of potentially reactive retinal derivatives from photoreceptors following photoexcitation.Knowledge of the genetic and molecular basis for ABCA4 related retinal degenerative diseases is being used to develop rational therapeutic treatments for this set of disorders.

Key words: ABCA4, Stragardt's disease, conerod dystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa, retinal degenerative disease
