CHMP1A charged multivesicular body protein 1A

Gene ID: 5119, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PCH8; CHMP1; PRSM1; PCOLN3; VPS46A; VPS46-1

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the CHMP/Chmp family of proteins which are involved in multivesicular body sorting of proteins to the interiors of lysosomes. The initial prediction of the protein sequence encoded by this gene suggested that the encoded protein was a metallopeptidase. The nomenclature has been updated recently to reflect the correct biological function of this encoded protein. Several transcripts encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
