3.A.1.211.8
AbcA12 Keratinocyte lipid transporter.  Transports lipids in lamellar granules to the apical surface of granular layer keratinocytes. Extracellular lipids, including ceramide, are thought to be essential for skin barrier function. ABCA12 mutations underlie the three main types of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyoses: harlequin ichthyosis, lamellar ichthyosis and congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma. ABCA12 mutations lead to defective lipid transport via lamellar granules in the keratinocytes, resulting in malformation of the epidermal lipid barrier and ichthyosis phenotypes. Lipid transport by ABCA12 is indispensable for intact differentiation of keratinocytes (Akiyama, 2011). The mean ichthyosis severity score in TGM1- and ABCA12-mutated patients was significantly higher than in all other mutated genes (Diociaiuti et al. 2024).
