ABCD1
MIM.300371 Xq28
ABCD1 is a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily. ABCD1 (ALDP) maps to Xq28 and is mutated in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) (MIM.300100).
The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily contains membrane proteins that translocate a wide variety of substrates across extra- and intracellular membranes, including metabolic products, lipids and sterols, and drugs.
