What is gene ontology? (1)
Gene ontology is a bioinformatic initiative intending to understand the functions of gene products. These can include the molecular function, cellular component, and biological process of the target protein. Gene ontology, GO, InterPro, InterPro, and PROSITE, PROSITE, were used to find this data.
Molecular function: Activities that occur on the molecular level, including things like transport, catalysis, or binding.
Cellular component: Locations in major cellular structures where the gene functions.
Biological process: Larger functions performed by multiple molecule activity.

Biological process: Larger functions performed by multiple molecule activity.

Discussion
As expected from previous knowledge of ABCA4 it is associated with lipid transport across the membrane and visual perception. The ATP activities are similarly confirmed by the protein domains for ABCA4. The gene ontology of ABCA4 has confirmed what was previously known about ABCA4's functions.
