Description
Description
The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family are primary active transporters that use ATP hydrolysis to drive the transport of substrates across the membrane. The ABCD subfamily are half transporters that must dimerize to form a functional transporter. In humans, ABCDs are involved in the import of long and branch chain acyl-CoA molecules into the peroxisome. (Adapted from FBrf0224053).
