    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • N-terminal transmembrane domain of ABCC8 (TMD0) interacts with KCNJ11
  • two nucleotide binding folds
  • an endoplasmic retention signal
  • in addition at C terminal an anterograde signal composed in part of a dileucine motif and downstream phenylalanine
  • an extracellular N terminal
  • three asymetric membrane spanning domains (five, six and six helices)
  • two nucleotide binding sites between TM2 and TM3
  • C terminal to TM3 and in addition required for KATP channels to exit the ER/cis-Golgi compartments and transit to the cell surface
  • conjugated GlycoP , HemoP
    HOMOLOGY

    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic,vesicle
    basic FUNCTION
  • ABC transporter, traffic ATPase, regulator of AFFP-sensitive K+ channels(Katp) and insulin release
  • activating Katp by nucleotide binding or hydrolysis on ABCC8, which opens the channel
  • following stroke, brain, or spinal cord injury, ABCC8 is increased in neurovascular cells at the site of injury
  • ABCC8 and TRPM4 have an intrinsic capacity for stable co-association
  • exposure of ABCC8-TRPM4 channels to Mg2+ greatly amplified the effect of a subsequent decrease in the intracellular ATP concentration
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • constituent with KIR6.2 (KCNJ11) of the ATP dependent potassium channel
  • stoichiometric association in a complex of 4 (KCNJ11) (ABCC8)
  • component of ATP sensitive K+ channels
  • following stroke, brain, or spinal cord injury, ABCC8 is increased in neurovascular cells at the site of injury
  • ABCC8 and TRPM4 co-assemble to form the unique ABCC8-TRPM4 channel
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • KIR6.2 (KCNJ11)
  • ABCC8 controls KCNJ11 gating by modulating KCNJ11 interactions with INPP5J
  • ABCC8 controls K(ATP) channel activity but not TRPM4 channels
  • SPTBN4 is required for CAMK2D, ANK2, KCNJ11, and ABCC8 expression in pancreatic beta cells

    suppression of ABCC8 with antisense oligodeoxynucleotide after spinal cord injury presents an opportunity for reducing the devastating sequelae of spinal cord injury
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
    Abcc8(-/-) mice given antisense oligodeoxynucleotide against Abcc8 prevented progressive hemorrhagic necrosis, yielded significantly better neurological function, and resulted in lesions that were one-fourth to one-third the size of those in control animals
