UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Q9NP58: Variant p.Arg276Trp

ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 6
Gene: ABCB6
Feedback?
Variant information Variant position: help 276 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Type of variant: help LB/B The variants are classified into three categories: LP/P, LB/B and US.
  • LP/P: likely pathogenic or pathogenic.
  • LB/B: likely benign or benign.
  • US: uncertain significance

Residue change: help From Arginine (R) to Tryptophan (W) at position 276 (R276W, p.Arg276Trp). Indicates the amino acid change of the variant. The one-letter and three-letter codes for amino acids used in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot are those adopted by the commission on Biochemical Nomenclature of the IUPAC-IUB.
Physico-chemical properties: help Change from large size and basic (R) to large size and aromatic (W) The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.
BLOSUM score: help -3 The score within a Blosum matrix for the corresponding wild-type to variant amino acid change. The log-odds score measures the logarithm for the ratio of the likelihood of two amino acids appearing by chance. The Blosum62 substitution matrix is used. This substitution matrix contains scores for all possible exchanges of one amino acid with another:
  • Lowest score: -4 (low probability of substitution).
  • Highest score: 11 (high probability of substitution).

Polymorphism: help Genetic variations in ABCB6 define the Langereis blood group system (LAN) [MIM:111600]. Individuals with Lan(-) blood group lack the Lan antigen on their red blood cells. These individuals may have anti-Lan antibodies in their serum, which can cause transfusion reactions or hemolytic disease of the fetus or newborn. The Lan(-) blood group is only clinically significant in transfusion settings or during pregnancy; otherwise Lan(-) individuals have no clinical features. Additional information on the polymorphism described.
Variant description: help May be a modifier of disease severity in porphyria patients; loss of expression. Any additional useful information about the variant.
Other resources: help Links to websites of interest for the variant.


Sequence information Variant position: help 276 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 842 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help RGSPALQLVVLICLGLMGLE R ALNVLVPIFYRNIVNLLTEK The residue change on the sequence. Unless the variant is located at the beginning or at the end of the protein sequence, both residues upstream (20) and downstream (20) of the variant will be shown.
Residue conservation: help The multiple alignment of the region surrounding the variant against various orthologous sequences.

Sequence annotation in neighborhood: help The regions or sites of interest surrounding the variant. In general the features listed are posttranslational modifications, binding sites, enzyme active sites, local secondary structure or other characteristics reported in the cited references. The "Sequence annotation in neighborhood" lines have a fixed format:
  • Type: the type of sequence feature.
  • Positions: endpoints of the sequence feature.
  • Description: contains additional information about the feature.
