{"symbol":"SEPTIN1","synonyms":[],"name":"septin 1","description":"This gene is a member of the septin family of GTPases. Members of this family are required for cytokinesis and the maintenance of cellular morphology. This gene encodes a protein that can form homo- and heterooligomeric filaments, and may contribute to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer\u0027s disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found but the full-length nature of these variants has not been determined.
