ABCG1 (Atp-binding cassette, subfamily g, member 1) also known as ABC8, ABC TRANSPORTER 8 or WHITE, DROSOPHILA, HOMOLOG OF, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ABCG1 gene. ABCG1 is a regulator of macrophage cholesterol and phospholipid transport. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters.The ABCG1 gene is mapped on 21q22.3. This protein is a member of the White subfamily. It is involved in macrophage cholesterol and phospholipids transport, and may regulate cellular lipid homeostasis in other cell types. ABCG1 is induced in monocyte-derived macrophages during cholesterol influx mediated by acetylated low-density lipoprotein. Inhibition of ABCG1 protein expression using an antisense strategy resulted in reduced HDL3-dependent efflux of cholesterol and choline-phospholipids. In macrophages, silencing of GPS2 by RNA interference reduced ABCG1 expression and diminished ABCG1-mediated cholesterol efflux.
