Gene: CHMP1A
Alternate names for this Gene: CHMP1|PCH8|PCOLN3|PRSM1|VPS46-1|VPS46A
Gene 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 16
Location in Chromosome : 16q24.3
Description of this Gene: charged multivesicular body protein 1A
Type of Gene: protein-coding
