FGGY, Official Symbol FGGYprovided by HGNC Official Full Name FGGY carbohydrate kinase domain containingprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:25610 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000172456 MIM:611370; AllianceGenome:HGNC:25610 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Summary This gene encodes a protein that phosphorylates carbohydrates such as ribulose, ribitol, and L-arabinitol. Genome-wide association studies in some populations have found an association between polymorphisms in this gene and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but studies of other populations have not been able to replicate this association. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
