AP5Z1 adaptor related protein complex 5 subunit zeta 1

Gene ID: 9907, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: zeta; SPG48; KIAA0415

Summary

This gene was identified by genome-wide screen for genes involved in homologous recombination DNA double-strand break repair (HR-DSBR). The encoded protein was found in a complex with other proteins that have a role in HR-DSBR. Knockdown of this gene reduced homologous recombination, and mutations in this gene were found in patients with spastic paraplegia. It was concluded that this gene likely encodes a helicase (PMID:20613862). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]
