Gene:
vacuolar protein sorting 13A (yeast)
Gene ID:
201299
Symbol:
VPS13A
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene may control steps in the cycling of proteins through the trans-Golgi network to endosomes, lysosomes and the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene cause the autosomal recessive disorder, chorea-acanthocytosis. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
