GDAP1 Products

The GDAP1 gene encodes for a member of the ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein family that is active in signal transduction pathways during neuronal development. These proteins also monitor the mitochondrial network by endorsing mitochondrial fission. Isoform 1 is 358 amino acids long at 41 kDA while isoform 2 is 290 amino acids long at approximately 33 kDA. Neuropathy, muscular dystrophy, and multiple forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease have been linked to mutations in the GDAP1 gene. The GDAP1 gene is involved in NgR-p75(NTR)-Mediated signaling and interacts with genes such as FIS1, ATP6V1D, TUBB, UBC, and YWHAB.
