Golgi reassembly-stacking protein 1

[5] The Golgi complex plays a key role in the sorting and modification of proteins exported from the endoplasmic reticulum.

[7] It is a caspase-3 substrate, and cleavage of this encoded protein contributes to Golgi fragmentation in apoptosis.

[7][a] Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been identified, but their full-length natures have not been determined.

[5] GORASP1 contains two PDZ domains in the amino-terminal GRASP domain (amino acid residues 2–210), that comprises approximately half of the protein.

This article on a gene on human chromosome 3 is a stub.

Microinjection of antibodies to GORASP1 prevents normal Golgi stack formation. [ 6 ]
