Gene information for GGA2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID23062
Official gene symbolGGA2
Full namegolgi-associated, gamma adaptin ear containing, ARF binding protein 2
Aliases,FLJ20966,KIAA1080,VEAR,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the Golgi-localized, gamma adaptin ear-containing, ARF-binding (GGA) family. This family includes ubiquitous coat proteins that regulate the trafficking of proteins between the trans-Golgi network and the lysosome. These proteins share an amino-terminal VHS domain which mediates sorting of the mannose 6-phosphate receptors at the trans-Golgi network. They also contain a carboxy-terminal region with homology to the ear domain of gamma-adaptins. This family member may play a significant role in cargo molecules regulation and clathrin-coated vesicle assembly. [provided by RefSeq]
