Golgin subfamily A member 2 (130 kDa cis-Golgi matrix protein,GM130,GM130 autoantigen,Golgin-95)
Cell localization:Cytoplasm.The Golgi apparatus, which participates in glycosylation and transport of proteins and lipids inThe secretory pathway, consists of a series of stacked cisternae (flattened membrane sacs). Interactions betweenThe Golgi and microtubµLes are thought to be important forThe reorganization ofThe Golgi after it fragments during mitosis. This gene encodes one ofThe golgins, a family of proteins localized toThe Golgi. This encoded protein has been postµLated to play roles inThe stacking of Golgi cisternae and in vesicµLar transport. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, butThe fµLl-length nature of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010],
