==== ABCD ==== The ABCD subfamily consists of four genes that encode half transporters expressed exclusively in the [[peroxisome]]. [[ABCD1]] is responsible for the X-linked form of [[Adrenoleukodystrophy]] (ALD) which is a disease characterized by neurodegeneration and adrenal deficiency that typically is initiated in late childhood. The cells of ALD patients feature accumulation of unbranched saturated fatty acids, but the exact role of [[ABCD1]] in the process is still undetermined. In addition, the function of other ABCD genes have yet to be determined but have been thought to exert related functions in [[fatty acid metabolism]].<ref name="Dean_2001"/>
