Gene locus: Xq28

Functions

-transporters

-transport fatty acids to peroxisomes, where they are broken down

-nucleotide-binding fold acts as ATP-binding subunit with ATPase activity.

-defects in protein are a result of recessive X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, a neurological disease, resulting in a very long chain of fatty acids in the brain
