NCIt synonyms : Golgi Integral Membrane Protein 5 Gene; Golgin A5 wt Allele; GOLIM5; ret-II; PIG31; RFG5; Golgin-84 Gene; Golgi Autoantigen, Golgin Subfamily A, 5 Gene; RETII;
NCIt definition : Human GOLGA5 wild-type allele is located within 14q and is approximately 45 kb in
length. This allele, which encodes golgin subfamily A member 5 protein, plays a role
in Golgi structure formation. Both mutation of the gene and a chromosomal translocation
t(10;14)(q11;q32) of this gene and the RET gene are associated with thyroid papillary
carcinoma.;
NCIt note : Ensembl reports the GOLGA5 gene is located in the vicinity of 14q32.12.;
