Gene information for GOLGA4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2803
Official gene symbolGOLGA4
Full namegolgin A4
Aliases,GCP2,GOLG,MU-RMS-40.18,p230,
Gene summaryThe Golgi apparatus, which participates in glycosylation and transport of proteins and lipids in the secretory pathway, consists of a series of stacked cisternae (flattened membrane sacs). Interactions between the Golgi and microtubules are thought to be important for the reorganization of the Golgi after it fragments during mitosis. This gene encodes one of the golgins, a family of proteins localized to the Golgi. This protein has been postulated to play a role in Rab6-regulated membrane-tethering events in the Golgi apparatus. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified in this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
