ARL6IP1 ADP ribosylation factor like GTPase 6 interacting protein 1

Gene ID: 23204, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: AIP1; ARMER; SPG61; ARL6IP

Summary

This gene belongs to the ARL6ip family and encodes a transmembrane protein that is predominantly localized to intracytoplasmic membranes. It is highly expressed in early myeloid progenitor cells and thought to be involved in protein transport, membrane trafficking, or cell signaling during hematopoietic maturation. Mutations in this gene are associated with spastic paraplegia 61 (SPG61). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
