ATAT1, Official Symbol ATAT1provided by HGNC Official Full Name alpha tubulin acetyltransferase 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:21186 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000137343 MIM:615556; AllianceGenome:HGNC:21186 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 TAT; MEC17; C6orf134; Nbla00487; alpha-TAT; alpha-TAT1 Summary This gene encodes a protein that localizes to clathrin-coated pits, where it acetylates alpha tubulin on lysine 40. This process may be important in microtubule growth, for instance during chemotaxis and the formation of cilium. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
