Gene: TOR1AIP1

Alternate names for this Gene: LAP1|LAP1B|LAP1C|LGMD2Y

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a type 2 integral membrane protein that binds A- and B-type lamins. The encoded protein localizes to the inner nuclear membrane and may be involved in maintaining the attachment of the nuclear membrane to the nuclear lamina during cell division. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1q25.2

Description of this Gene: torsin 1A interacting protein 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
