Gene: IST1
Alternate names for this Gene: CHMP8|OLC1
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein with MIT-interacting motifs that interacts with components of endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT). ESCRT functions in vesicle budding, such as that which occurs during membrane abscission in cytokinesis. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 19. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 16
Location in Chromosome : 16q22.2
Description of this Gene: IST1 factor associated with ESCRT-III
Type of Gene: protein-coding
