Unc-13 homolog A (C. elegans) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UNC13A gene.[5]
Function
This gene encodes a member of the UNC13 family.
Protein structure
Several
conserved domains include three C2 domains. One C2 domain is centrally located, another is at the carboxyl end, and there is a third. In addition, there is one C1 domain, as well as Munc13 homology domains 1 (MHD1) and 2 (MHD2).[7][8]
Subcellular location
UNC13A is localized to the
phorbol ester binding.[7]
Interaction
UNC13A has been shown to
interact
with:
Clinical significance
ALS and FTD results in a cryptic exon being expressed in UNC13A, which is exercerbated by the single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with ALS and FTD risk.[13][14][15] This gene has also been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD).[16]
