UVRAG wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human UVRAG wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11q13.5 and is approximately 329 kb in length. This allele, which encodes UV radiation resistance-associated gene protein, plays a role in the modulation of both DNA repair and autophagy. A chromosomal inversion inv(11)(q13.5;q25), which involves the gene, is associated with heterotaxy.

**Synonyms:** - DHTX - Disrupted In Heterotaxy Gene - UV Radiation Resistance Associated wt Allele - UV Radiation Resistance-Associated Gene - VPS38 - p63
