EXPH5 - exophilin 5 Gene
Also Known as EBS4; SLAC2B; SLAC2-B
Species: Homo sapiens
About EXPH5
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 118 orthologues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in skin (RPKM 9.2), esophagus (RPKM 2.8) and 9 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the synaptotagmin-like protein (Slp) family lacking a C2 domain. It contains an N-terminal synaptotagmin-like homology domain (SHD), and is a ras-related protein Rab-27B effector protein. This protein is thought to be involved in exosome secretion and intracellular vesicle trafficking. Reduced expression of this gene results in keratin filament defects. Mutations in this gene have been associated with some cases of epidermolysis bullosa, an inherited skin fragility disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
