Gene: KALRN
Alternate names for this Gene: ARHGEF24|CHD5|CHDS5|DUET|DUO|HAPIP|TRAD
Gene Summary: Huntington's disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by loss of striatal neurons, is caused by an expansion of a polyglutamine tract in the HD protein huntingtin. This gene encodes a protein that interacts with the huntingtin-associated protein 1, which is a huntingtin binding protein that may function in vesicle trafficking.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 3
Location in Chromosome : 3q21.1-q21.2
Description of this Gene: kalirin RhoGEF kinase
Type of Gene: protein-coding
