Gene information for GOLGA2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2801
Official gene symbolGOLGA2
Full namegolgin A2
Aliases,GM130,MGC20672,
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 encoded protein has been postulated to play roles in the stacking of Golgi cisternae and in vesicular transport. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq]
