Rabbit Anti-Chorein/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Chorein may control steps in the cycling of proteins through the trans-Golgi network to endosomes, lysosomes and the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene cause the autosomal recessive disorder chorea-acanthocytosis. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
Function:
May play a role in the control of protein cycling through the trans-Golgi network to early and late endosomes, lysosomes and plasma membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
Widely expressed. Higher expression is found in brain, heart, skeletal muscle and kidney.
DISEASE:
Choreoacanthocytosis (CHAC) [MIM:200150]: An autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the gradual onset of hyperkinetic movements and abnormal erythrocyte morphology. Basal ganglia atrophy in the brain is a pathological feature of the disease. Other clinical symptoms include psychiatric features, epilepsy, peripheral neuropathy, myopathy and oral self-mutilation. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity:
Belongs to the VPS13 family.
Contains 10 TPR repeats.
