Gene:
ADP-ribosylation factor-like 5
Gene ID:
192637
Symbol:
ARL5
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ARF family of GTP-binding proteins. With its distinctive nuclear/nucleolar localization and interaction with HP1alpha, the protein is developmentally regulated and may play a role(s) in nuclear dynamics and/or signaling cascades during embryonic development. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified.
