Tether containing UBX domain for GLUT4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ASPSCR1 gene.[1][2][3]

This gene is a candidate gene for alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS). It has been found that this gene is fused with transcription factor TFE3 gene in ASPS and also in renal cell carcinomas. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their full length nature has not been determined.[3]
