Structural basis of substrate recognition and translocation by human very long-chain fatty acid transporter ABCD1
Abstract
Human ABC transporter ABCD1 transports very long-chain fatty acids from cytosol to peroxisome for βoxidation, dysfunction of which causes the X-ALD. Here, the authors report three structures of ABCD1: the ligand-free, C22:0-CoA- and ATP-bound forms.
