Abstract
Background: The role of cytoplasmic loops (CL) in ABCC4 expression at the plasma membrane is unknown. Results: A conserved amino acid substitution in the CL3 of ABCC4 reduced expression and impaired membrane localization. Conclusion: An α-helical domain in CL3 appears crucial for proper ABCC4 plasma membrane localization. Significance: These findings reveal ABCC4 membrane localization requires a conserved domain in CL3.
