Invitrogen™ ATP11C Polyclonal Antibody

The ATP11C gene encodes a protein that belongs to the P4-ATPase family, specifically functioning as a phospholipid-transporting ATPase. ATP11C plays a critical role in the maintenance of phospholipid asymmetry across the cell membrane by transporting aminophospholipids from the outer leaflet to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. This activity is essential for various biological processes, including cell membrane integrity, cell signaling, and apoptosis. ATP11C is particularly important in hematopoiesis, influencing the development of B cells and red blood cells. Mutations or dysregulation in ATP11C can lead to disruptions in cell membrane dynamics and are associated with immunological disorders and anemia. Research on ATP11C continues to focus on its role in phospholipid transport and its implications for cellular function and disease, particularly in the context of blood-related disorders.
