reported that high levels of ABCA1 transporter proteins in human melanoma are associated with poor prognosis and that depletion or inhibition of ABCA1 activity affects the invasive capacity of aggressive melanoma cells and regulates the lateral organization of the plasma membrane of melanoma cells by increasing cholesterol levels and preventing the formation of active adherent plaques, thus suggesting that ABCA1 is a potential metastatic marker for melanoma (26). Here, ABCA1 is linked to melanoma.
