ab66217 (4µg/ml) staining ABCA1 in human liver using an automated system (DAKO Autostainer Plus). Using this protocol there is moderate cell membrane staining throughout the liver parenchyma.

Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffer EDTA pH 9.0 in a DAKO PT link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako Envision Flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that, for manual staining, optimization of primary antibody concentration and incubation time is recommended. Signal amplification may be required.

IHC image of ABCA1 staining in human liver formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab66217, 0.2µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Abcam recommends using milk as the blocking agent. This blot was produced using a 3-8% Tris Acetate gel under the TA buffer system. The gel was run at 150V for 60 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 3% Milk before being incubated with ab66217 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-mouse antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution.

Supplementary information

The ABCA1 protein also known as ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 plays an important role in lipid transport processes. It helps in the export of cholesterol and phospholipids to apolipoprotein A-I which is essential for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) formation. The ABCA1 molecular weight is approximately 220 kDa. This protein is widely expressed in various tissues including the liver lungs and intestines indicating its systemic role in lipid metabolism. Researchers often study ABCA1 using techniques like ABCA1 ELISA and H10 flow cytometry.
Biological function summary

ABCA1 functions as a cholesterol efflux pump in the cellular membrane. It facilitates the transfer of cholesterol to lipid-poor apolipoproteins such as apoA-I which then forms HDL particles. This active process helps maintain cellular cholesterol homeostasis and reduces cholesterol accumulation. ABCA1 is a critical component of the HDL synthesis pathway and does not form part of a larger protein complex acting more as an individual unit in this function.

Pathways

Many regulatory mechanisms control the activity of ABCA1. It plays a significant role in the reverse cholesterol transport pathway thereby promoting the movement of cholesterol away from peripheral tissues back to the liver for excretion. This pathway helps maintain systemic lipid balance. The LXR/RXR pathway regulates ABCA1 expression aligning it closely with other proteins such as LXR and ABCG1 which also deal with cholesterol metabolism.

ABCA1 is intimately connected with atherosclerosis and Tangier disease. Dysfunction or mutations in the ABCA1 gene lead to impaired cholesterol efflux contributing to cholesterol build-up and atherosclerotic plaque formation. Tangier disease a rare genetic disorder arises from severe mutations in ABCA1 resulting in very low levels of HDL cholesterol. This protein's role in disease is often studied alongside proteins such as apoA-I and LDL receptors which influence cholesterol transportation and storage.

Target data

Catalyzes the translocation of specific phospholipids from the cytoplasmic to the extracellular/lumenal leaflet of membrane coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP (PubMed : 24097981, PubMed : 35974019). Thereby, participates in phospholipid transfer to apolipoproteins to form nascent high density lipoproteins/HDLs (PubMed : 14754908). Transports preferentially phosphatidylcholine over phosphatidylserine (PubMed : 24097981). May play a similar role in the efflux of intracellular cholesterol to apolipoproteins and the formation of nascent high density lipoproteins/HDLs (PubMed : 10533863, PubMed : 14754908, PubMed : 24097981, PubMed : 35974019). Translocates phospholipids from the outer face of the plasma membrane and forces it through its gateway and annulus into an elongated hydrophobic tunnel in its extracellular domain (PubMed : 35974019).
