Gene: EPG5

Alternate names for this Gene: HEEW1|KIAA1632|VICIS

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a large coiled coil domain-containing protein that functions in autophagy during starvation conditions. Mutations in this gene cause Vici syndrome.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 18

Location in Chromosome : 18q12.3-q21.1

Description of this Gene: ectopic P-granules autophagy protein 5 homolog

Type of Gene: protein-coding
