Gene: VPS13B
Alternate names for this Gene: CHS1|COH1
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a potential transmembrane protein that may function in vesicle-mediated transport and sorting of proteins within the cell. This protein may play a role in the development and the function of the eye, hematological system, and central nervous system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Cohen syndrome. Multiple splice variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 8
Location in Chromosome : 8q22.2
Description of this Gene: vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog B
Type of Gene: protein-coding
