ATCAY

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: ATCAY
  • Official Name: ATCAY kinesin light chain interacting caytaxin
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 85300
  • UniProt: Q86WG3
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a neuron-restricted protein that contains a CRAL-TRIO motif common to proteins that bind small lipophilic molecules. Mutations in this gene are associated with cerebellar ataxia, Cayman type. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
  • UniProt Summary: Functions in the development of neural tissues, particularly the postnatal maturation of the cerebellar cortex. May play a role in neurotransmission through regulation of glutaminase/GLS, an enzyme responsible for the production in neurons of the glutamate neurotransmitter. Alternatively, may regulate the localization of mitochondria within axons and dendrites. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16899818}.
