GDAP1 ganglioside induced differentiation associated protein 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 54332)
Symbol: GDAP1
Full name: ganglioside induced differentiation associated protein 1
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: CMT4; CMT4A; CMTRIA
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein family, which may play a role in a signal transduction pathway during neuronal development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with various forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease and neuropathy. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms and a noncoding variant have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
