Gene:
giant axonal neuropathy (gigaxonin)
Gene ID:
191476
Symbol:
GAN
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the cytoskeletal BTB/kelch (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac) repeat family. (Kelch repeats are predicted to form a beta-propeller shape.) The encoded protein plays a role in neurofilament architecture and is mutated in giant axonal neuropathy.
