VPS13A
Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 13A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the VPS13A gene.[5][6][7]
Function
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.[7]
Model organisms
Model organisms have been used in the study of VPS13A function. A conditional knockout mouse line called Vps13atm1b(EUCOMM)Wtsi was generated at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.[8] Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen[9] to determine the effects of deletion.[10][11][12][13] Additional screens performed: - In-depth immunological phenotyping[14]
