ARL5A, Official Symbol ARL5Aprovided by HGNC Official Full Name ADP ribosylation factor like GTPase 5Aprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:696 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000162980 MIM:608960; AllianceGenome:HGNC:696 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 Also known as ARL5; ARFLP5 Summary The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ARF family of GTP-binding proteins. With its distinctive nuclear/nucleolar localization and interaction with HP1alpha, the protein is developmentally regulated and may play a role(s) in nuclear dynamics and/or signaling cascades during embryonic development. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. This gene has multiple pseudogenes.
