text	region between transmembrane domain 2 and 3 is important for the targeting of ABCD1 to the peroxisome (Takahashi 2007)

basic FUNCTION	dysplaying overlapping functions with 3 other ABC proteins (PMP70, ABCD2, P70R)
	half ABC transporter, traffic ATPase, enhancing the association of very long chain acyl-CoA synthethase with the peroxisome and involved in metabolic transport of long and very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) into peroxisomes
	likely involved in the peroxisomal transport or catabolism of very long chain fatty acids
	having partial functional redundancy with ABCD3
	required for fatty acid transport across the peroxisomal membrane
	ABCD1-independent peroxisomal and mitochondrial beta-oxidation pathways significantly contribute to VLCFA beta-oxidation in astrocytic cells

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

can form homo- and heterodimers with ABCD2/ALDR and ABCD3/PMP70 ( dimerization is necessary to form an active transporter)

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacting with ABCD3 for regulation of fatty acid transport into peroxisomes
	interacts with PEX19

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

ALDP-deficient mice replicate metabolic dysfunctions and develop late-onset axonopathy but lack histological signs of cerebral inflammation and demyelination (Dumser 2007)
