About CHM

Cytogenetic location: Xq21.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): X:85,861,180-86,047,558 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 204 orthologues, 3 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 4.7), thyroid (RPKM 4.5) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes component A of the RAB geranylgeranyl transferase holoenzyme. In the dimeric holoenzyme, this subunit binds unprenylated Rab GTPases and then presents them to the catalytic Rab GGTase subunit for the geranylgeranyl transfer reaction. Rab GTPases need to be geranylgeranyled on either one or two cysteine residues in their C-terminus to localize to the correct intracellular membrane. Mutations in this gene are a cause of choroideremia; also known as tapetochoroidal dystrophy (TCD). This X-linked disease is characterized by progressive dystrophy of the choroid, retinal pigment epithelium and retina. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
