NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Observed: 65; 78 kDa
NCBI Description
The Golgi apparatus, which participates in glycosylation and transport of proteins and lipids in the secretory pathway, consists of a series of stacked cisternae (flattened membrane sacs). Interactions between the Golgi and microtubules are thought to be important for the reorganization of the Golgi after it fragments during mitosis. This gene encodes one of the golgins, a family of proteins localized to the Golgi. This protein is a coiled-coil membrane protein that has been postulated to play a role in vesicle tethering and docking. Translocations involving this gene and the ret proto-oncogene have been found in tumor tissues; the chimeric sequences have been designated RET-II and PTC5. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 5. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
Uniprot Description
GOLGA5: a member of the golgin family of proteins, whose members localize to the Golgi. Involved in regulating the architecture of the Golgi apparatus. A coiled-coil membrane protein that has been postulated to play a role in vesicle tethering and docking. Translocations involving this gene and the ret proto-oncogene have been found in tumor tissues. Highly phosphorylated during mitosis. Phosphorylation is barely detectable during interphase. Two splice variant isoforms have been described.
