Gene information for GOLGA5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9950
Official gene symbolGOLGA5
Full namegolgin A5
Aliases,GOLIM5,RFG5,ret-II,
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 is a coiled-coil membrane protein that has been postulated to play a role in vesicle tethering and docking. Translocations involving this gene and the ret proto-oncogene have been found in tumor tissues; the chimeric sequences have been designated RET-II and PTC5. [provided by RefSeq]
