Gene: VBP1

Alternate names for this Gene: HIBBJ46|PFD3|PFDN3|VBP-1

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene interacts with the Von Hippel-Lindau protein to form an intracellular complex. The encoded protein functions as a chaperone protein, and may play a role in the transport of the Von Hippel-Lindau protein from the perinuclear granules to the nucleus or cytoplasm. Alternative splicing and the use of alternate transcription start sites results in multiple transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms.

Gene is located in Chromosome: X
