vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog A (S. cerevisiae)

Symbol

VPS13A (may also be known as: None)

Organism

Human

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
