Summary: The protein encoded by this gene plays an important role in the regulation of endosomal trafficking, and has been shown to interact with Rab proteins that are involved in autophagy and endocytic transport. Expansion of a GGGGCC repeat from 2-22 copies to 700-1600 copies in the intronic sequence between alternate 5' exons in transcripts from this gene is associated with 9p-linked ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and FTD (frontotemporal dementia) (PMID: 21944778, 21944779). Studies suggest that hexanucleotide expansions could result in the selective stabilization of repeat-containing pre-mRNA, and the accumulation of insoluble dipeptide repeat protein aggregates that could be pathogenic in FTD-ALS patients (PMID: 23393093). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (3) represents the longest transcript and encodes the longer isoform (a). Hexanucleotide expansions that can occur in a repeat region between the first and second exon of this variant have been associated with frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FTD-ALS;PMID: 21944778, PMID: 21944779 ). Variants 2 and 3 encode the same protein.

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_659442.2

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (1) lacks multiple exons in the central and 3' coding regions, and its 3' terminal exon extends beyond a splice site that is used in variant 3 . This results in a novel 3' UTR, compared to variant 3. It encodes isoform b which is significantly shorter, and its C-terminal amino acid is distinct, compared to isoform a.
