Abstract

Mutation of the ABCA3 gene causes fatal surfactant deficiency in newborns. ABCA3 is critical for the proper formation of lamellar bodies and surfactant function and may also be important for lung function in other pulmonary diseases. Since it is closely related to ABCA1 and ABCA4, proteins that transport phospholipids in macrophages and photoreceptor cells, it may have a role in surfactant phospholipid metabolism.
