ID:VP13B_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 13B; AltName: Full=Cohen syndrome protein 1; FUNCTION: May be involved in protein sorting in post Golgi membrane traffic (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed. There is apparent differential expression of different transcripts. In fetal brain, lung, liver, and kidney, two transcripts of 2 and 5 kb are identified. These transcripts are also seen in all adult tissues analyzed. A larger transcript (12-14 kb) is expressed in prostate, testis, ovary, and colon in the adult. Expression is very low in adult brain tissue. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in brain and retina. Isoform 2 is expressed ubiquitously. DISEASE: Defects in VPS13B are a cause of Cohen syndrome (COH1) [MIM:216550]. COH1 is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by obesity, hypotonia, intellectual deficit, characteristic craniofacial dysmorphism and abnormalities of the hands and feet. Characteristic facial features include high-arched or wave-shaped eyelids, a short philtrum, thick hair and low hairline. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the VPS13 family.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.
Pfam Domains: PF06650 - SHR-binding domain of vacuolar-sorting associated protein 13 PF12624 - N-terminal region of Chorein or VPS13 PF16909 - Vacuolar-sorting-associated 13 protein C-terminal

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
