ABC transporter transmembrane domain

  • Proteins and Enzymes

The ABC transporter transmembrane domain is the main membrane-spanning structural unit of ATP-binding cassette transporter proteins. It consists of 6 to 10 alpha helices that traverse the plasma membrane. Many ABC transporter family members, classified in Pfam as PF00005, have two of these regions. This family appears to correspond to ABC1 in the TCDB classification.
