It one of the so-called "Abi" systems for "Abortive infection" discovered in the 90's in research related to the dairy industry :ref{doi=10.1016/j.mib.2005.06.006}. Even though, their name correspond to abortive infection, their mechanism of action does not necessarily correspond to an abortive infection.

Abik is a single gene protein containing a reverse transcriptase domain. This defense system is part of wider defense system family named DRT (for **D**efense associated **R**everse **T**ranscriptases) :ref{doi=10.1093/nar/gkac467}. The other system from this class are : [DRT]{/defense-systems/drt}, [Rst_RT_Nitralase_TM]{/defense-systems/rst_rt-nitrilase-tm}, [AbiA]{/defense-systems/abia}, [AbiP]{/defense-systems/abip2} and [AbiK]{/defense-systems/abik}.

## Molecular mechanism ## Molecular mechanism
As far as we are aware, the molecular mechanism is unknown. For all the system of the DRT family, very few things are known for the mechanism. As far as we are aware, the molecular mechanism is unknown. For all the system of the DRT family, very few things are known for the mechanism.
