Name

ASPSCR1 Gene

alveolar soft part sarcoma chromosome region, candidate 1

The protein encoded by this gene contains a UBX domain and interacts with glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4). This protein is a tether, which sequesters the GLUT4 in intracellular vesicles in muscle and fat cells in the absence of insulin, and redistributes the GLUT4 to the plasma membrane within minutes of insulin stimulation. Translocation t(X;17)(p11;q25) of this gene with transcription factor TFE3 gene results in a ASPSCR1-TFE3 fusion protein in alveolar soft part sarcoma and in renal cell carcinomas. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

SNTN Gene

sentan, cilia apical structure protein

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and calcium-dependent protein binding activity. Predicted to be located in cilium. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

VIPAS39 Gene

VPS33B interacting protein, apical-basolateral polarity regulator, spe-39 homolog

Involved in endosome to lysosome transport and intracellular protein transport. Acts upstream of or within collagen metabolic process and peptidyl-lysine hydroxylation. Located in Golgi apparatus and endosome. Part of endosome and vesicle tethering complex. Implicated in arthrogryposis, renal dysfunction, and cholestasis 2.
