Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Transporter involved in macrophage lipid homeostasis. Is an active component of the macrophage lipid export complex. Could also be involved in intracellular lipid transport processes. The role in cellular lipid homeostasis may not be limited to macrophages.
Scientific background (datasheet): ABCG1 (Atp-binding cassette, subfamily g, member 1) also known as ABC8, ABC TRANSPORTER 8 or WHITE, DROSOPHILA, HOMOLOG OF, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ABCG1 gene. ABCG1 is a regulator of macrophage cholesterol and phospholipid transport. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters.The ABCG1 gene is mapped on 21q22.3. This protein is a member of the White subfamily. It is involved in macrophage cholesterol and phospholipids transport, and may regulate cellular lipid homeostasis in other cell types. ABCG1 is induced in monocyte-derived macrophages during cholesterol influx mediated by acetylated low-density lipoprotein. Inhibition of ABCG1 protein expression using an antisense strategy resulted in reduced HDL3-dependent efflux of cholesterol and choline-phospholipids. In macrophages, silencing of GPS2 by RNA interference reduced ABCG1 expression and diminished ABCG1-mediated cholesterol efflux.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Endoplasmic reticulum membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Golgi apparatus membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Predominantly localized in the intracellular compartments mainly associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi membranes.
Tissue details (datasheet): Expressed in several tissues. Expressed in macrophages; expression is increased in macrophages from patients with Tangier disease. .
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. ABCG family. Eye pigment precursor importer (TC 3.A.1.204) subfamily.

- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
