- Description
- abt-5 encodes a predicted ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter that is a member of the ABCA subfamily of transport proteins; ABT-5 is predicted to function as a transmembrane protein that couples energy to transport of various molecules across membranes, but as loss of abt-5 activity via RNAi results in no obvious defects, the precise role of abt-5 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known; abt-5 promoter-gfp fusion proteins are expressed in larvae and adults in the intestine and in unidentified cells in the head.
