VPS13C wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human VPS13C wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 15q22.2 and is approximately 208 kb in length. This allele, which encodes intermembrane lipid transfer protein VPS13C, is involved in mitochondrial maintenance and the transfer of lipids among organelle membranes. Mutations in the gene are associated with autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson disease 23.
