However, little data are available for the expression of ABCC11 protein in human axillary apocrine glands that produce apocrine sweat\u2014a source of odor from the armpits. To determine the effect of the non-synonymous SNP ABCC11 538G&gt;A (G180R) on the ABCC11 in vivo, we generated transiently ABCC11-expressing transgenic mice with adenovirus vector, and examined the protein levels of each ABCC11 in the mice with immunoblotting using an anti-ABCC11 antibody we have generated in the present study. Furthermore, we examined the expression of ABCC11 protein in human axillary apocrine glands extracted from axillary osmidrosis patients carrying each ABCC11 genotype: 538GG, GA, and AA. Analyses of transiently ABCC11-expressing transgenic mice showed that ABCC11 538G&gt;A diminishes the ABCC11 protein levels in vivo. Consistently, ABCC11 protein was detected in the human axillary apocrine glands of the 538GG homozygote or 538GA heterozygote, not in the 538AA homozygote. These findings would contribute to a better understanding of the molecular basis of axillary osmidrosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms18020417","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,15]],"date-time":"2017-02-15T10:09:07Z","timestamp":1487153347000},"page":"417","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Clinical and Molecular Evidence of ABCC11 Protein Expression in Axillary Apocrine Glands of Patients with Axillary Osmidrosis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7411-0531","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yu","family":"Toyoda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, The University of Tokyo Hospital, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8655, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3868-9320","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tappei","family":"Takada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, The University of Tokyo Hospital, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8655, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tsuneaki","family":"Gomi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gomi Clinic, 1-10-12, Hyakunin-cho, Shinjyuku-ku, Tokyo 169-0073, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9697-164X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Nakagawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Biological Chemistry, Graduate School of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Chubu University, 1200 Matsumoto-cho, Kasugai 487-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toshihisa","family":"Ishikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"RIKEN Center for Life Science Technology, 1-7-22, Suehiro-cho, Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama 230-0045, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, The University of Tokyo Hospital, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8655, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7670483","DOI":"10.1155\/2016\/7670483","article-title":"Diagnosis of Human Axillary Osmidrosis by Genotyping of the Human ABCC11 Gene: Clinical Practice and Basic Scientific Evidence","volume":"2016","author":"Toyoda","year":"2016","journal-title":"BioMed Res.
