NCIt definition : Human VPS53 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17p13.3 and is approximately
213 kb in length. This allele, which encodes vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein
53 homolog protein, plays a role in endocytic recycling, retrograde transport from
endosomes to Golgi and lysosomal transport. Mutations in the gene are associated with
pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 2E.;
