ABCE1 Products

ATP-binding cassette sub-family E member 1 (ABCE1) is a member of the ATP-binding cassette sub-family E, but is not a membrane transporter.

ABCE-1 interacts with RNASEL to inhibit its endoribonuclease activity, and antagonizes the anti-viral effect of the interferon-regulated 2-5A/RNase L pathway. ABCE1 is activated by encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) and HIV-1, and recently it has been found to be essential for the assembly of immature immunodeficiency virus capsids.

ABCE1 antibodies are useful tools for HIV studies and research on the ATP-binding cassette families.
