Gdap1 - ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated-protein 1

Acts upstream of or within response to retinoic acid. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Predicted to be integral component of mitochondrial outer membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including ileum; male reproductive gland or organ; and nervous system. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2K. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2C; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2K; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease recessive intermediate A; and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4A. Orthologous to human GDAP1 (ganglioside induced differentiation associated protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
