The A subclass of the ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporter superfamily has a structural feature that distinguishes it from other ABC transporters, and is proposed to be involved in the transmembrane transport of endogenous lipids. Here we have cloned mouse and rat full-length cDNAs of ABCA17, a novel ABC transporter belonging to the A subclass. Mouse and rat ABCA17 proteins comprise 1733 and 1773 amino acid residues respectively, having 87.3% amino acid identity; mouse ABCA17 has amino acid identities of 55.3% and 36.7% with mouse ABCA3 and sea urchin ABCA respectively. RNA blot and quantitative real-time PCR analyses showed that ABCA17 mRNA is expressed exclusively in the testis. Examination of testis by in situ hybridization showed that ABCA17 mRNA is expressed in germ cells, mainly spermatocytes, in the seminiferous tubule. Immunoblot analysis using a specific antibody showed that ABCA17 is a protein of 200 kDa, and immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the protein is detected in the anterior head of sperm and elongated spermatids. ABCA17 was localized in the endoplasmic reticulum in transiently transfected HEK293 cells. Metabolic labelling analysis showed that intracellular esterified lipids, including cholesteryl esters, fatty acid esters and triacylglycerols, were significantly decreased in HEK293 cells stably expressing ABCA17 compared with untransfected cells. These results suggest that ABCA17 may play a role in regulating lipid composition in sperm.
