Genome-Wide Identification, Function, and Expression Analysis of the ABC Transporter Gene Family in Forest Musk Deer (<i>Moschus berezovskii</i>) Under Musk Secretion Stage.

ABSTRACT: The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family is one of the oldest conserved protein families and is widely present in animal and plant cells. However, few studies have investigated the role of ABC in the forest musk deer (FMD; Moschus berezovskii). In this study, we employed bioinformatics methods to identify and analyze the ABC transporter genes in M. berezovskii to elucidate the potential function of ABC genes in musk secretion. A total of 51 members of the MbABC gene family were identified. The analysis encompassed various aspects including physical and chemical properties, phylogenetic tree, structure prediction, conserved motifs, gene structures, chromosome localization, collinearity analysis, and KEGG and GO enrichment. Collinearity analysis revealed that the ABC t
