Definition
This section has been translated automatically.

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the superfamily of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport different molecules across extra- and intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into 7 different subfamilies (ABC1, MDR / TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White).

The ABC protein belongs to the MRP subfamily, which is involved in resistance to several drugs. This protein acts as a modulator of ATP-sensitive potassium channels and insulin release.

Other diseases caused by ABCC8 mutations:

  • Disease-causing germline mutation(s) DEND syndrome ORPHA:79134
  • Disease-causing germline mutation(s) Diabetes mellitus, neonatal permanent ORPHA:99885
  • Disease-causing germline mutation(s) Diabetes mellitus, neonatal transient ORPHA:99886
  • Pathogenic germline mutation(s) hyperinsulinism due to SUR1 deficiency, autosomal dominant ORPHA:276575
  • Pathogenic germline mutation(s) hyperinsulinism due to SUR1 deficiency, autosomal recessive ORPHA:79643
  • Pathogenic germline mutation(s) hyperinsulinism, focal, diazoxide resistant, due to SUR1 deficiency ORPHA:276598
  • Monogenic, autosomal-dominantly inherited mutation: MODY 12
