Gene information for GAN (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8139
Official gene symbolGAN
Full namegigaxonin
Aliases,FLJ38059,GAN1,KLHL16,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the cytoskeletal BTB/kelch (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac) repeat family. The encoded protein plays a role in neurofilament architecture and is involved in mediating the ubiquitination and degradation of some proteins. Defects in this gene are a cause of giant axonal neuropathy (GAN). [provided by RefSeq]
