ABCG8 (ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 8) is a six-pass type II transmembrane glycoprotein beloning to the ABC transporter superfamily. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White/ABCG). ABCG8 is a member of the White/ABCG subfamily. ABCG1 plays an important role in cellular cholesterol homeostasis. ABCG8  appears to play an indispensable role in the selective transport of the dietary cholesterol in and out of the enterocytes and in the selective sterol excretion by the liver into bile. ABCG8 functions to exclude non-cholesterol sterol entry at the intestinal level, promote excretion of cholesterol and sterols into bile, and to facilitate transport of sterols back into the intestinal lumen. ABCG8 is expressed in a tissue-specific manner in the liver, intestine, and gallbladder.  ABCG8 may form heterodimers with ABCG5 or be tightly coupled to ABCG5 along a pathway regulating diatery-sterol absorption and excretion.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: ABCG8; GBD4; STSL

 

NCBI Gene ID: 64241

 

Uniprot Entry: Q9H221

 

Construct Details: Full length human ABCG8 is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without a selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- a selection marker, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 2022 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
