Gene: GORASP2

Alternate names for this Gene: GOLPH6|GRASP55|GRS2|p59

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the Golgi reassembly stacking protein family. These proteins may play a role in the stacking of Golgi cisternae and Golgi ribbon formation, as well as Golgi fragmentation during apoptosis or mitosis. The encoded protein also plays a role in the intracellular transport of transforming growth factor alpha and may function as a molecular chaperone. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q31.1

Description of this Gene: golgi reassembly stacking protein 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
