Substrate In Vivo Evidence:
1. ABCA9 was cloned from human macrophages. ABCA9 expression is induced during monocyte differentiation into macrophages and suppressed by cholesterol import, suggesting that ABCA9 is likely involved in monocyte differentiation and macrophage lipid homeostasis. Piehler, A et al. Biochem Biophys Res Comm 2002 Jul 12, 295(2):408-16 PMID 12150964.
Tissue Distribution Evidence:
1. Ubiquitous expression with highest mRNA levels in heart, brain, and fetal tissues (RNA dot blot). Piehler, A et al. Biochem Biophys Res Comm 2002 Jul 12, 295(2):408-16 PMID 12150964.
