RETREG1 reticulophagy regulator 1

Gene ID: 54463, updated on 4-Jan-2025
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: JK1; JK-1; FAM134B

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a cis-Golgi transmembrane protein that may be necessary for the long-term survival of nociceptive and autonomic ganglion neurons. Mutations in this gene are a cause of hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type IIB (HSAN IIB), and this gene may also play a role in susceptibility to vascular dementia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
