The function of chorein

Abstract:

Chorein is the protein encoded by gene VPS13A which is altered in chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc). It belongs to the VPS13 protein family which, in mammals, has three other members: VPS13B, VPS13C and VPS13D. These proteins are similar to Vps13p, a yeast protein shown to be involved in intra-cellular trafficking of a number of transmembrane proteins. Chorein and its homologous human proteins lack domains or motifs of known function. This, together with their large size, makes the functional char...
