Gene information for GOLGA8A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID23015
Official gene symbolGOLGA8A
Full namegolgin A8 family, member A
Aliases,GM88,
Gene summaryThe Golgi apparatus, which participates in glycosylation and transport of proteins and lipids in the secretory pathway, consists of a series of stacked, flattened membrane sacs referred to as cisternae. Interactions between the Golgi and microtubules are thought to be important for the reorganization of the Golgi after it fragments during mitosis. The golgins constitute a family of proteins which are localized to the Golgi. This gene encodes a golgin which structurally resembles its family member GOLGA2, suggesting that they may share a similar function. There are many similar copies of this gene on chromosome 15. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
