High impact information on ALS2CL

  • These results suggest that ALS2CL is a novel factor modulating the Rab5-mediated endosome dynamics in the cells [1].
  • In HeLa cells, co-expression of ALS2CL and Rab5A resulted in a unique tubulation phenotype of endosome compartments with significant colocalization of ALS2CL and Rab5A [1].
  • In cultured cells, overexpressed ALS2CL is colocalized with ALS2 onto membranous compartments [2].
  • Computational genomic analysis identified ALS2CL, which is a novel protein highly homologous to the C-terminal region of ALS2 [3].
 

Anatomical context of ALS2CL

  • ALS2, the causative gene product for a number of recessive motor neuron diseases, is a guanine-nucleotide exchange factor for Rab5, and acts as a modulator for endosome dynamics [2].
