ABCC4
Encyclopedia
ATP-binding cassette sub-family C member 4 (ABCC4), also known as the multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 or multi-specific organic anion transporter B (MOAT-B), is a protein
that in humans is encoded by the ABCC4 gene
.
ABCC4 acts as a regulator of intracellular cyclic nucleotide
levels and as a mediator of cAMP
-dependent signal transduction to the nucleus.
Protein
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of...

Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...
