ID:GAS8_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Growth arrest-specific protein 8; Short=GAS-8; AltName: Full=Growth arrest-specific protein 11; Short=GAS-11; FUNCTION: Cytoskeletal linker which binds microtubules and probably functions in axonemal and non-axonemal dynein regulation. May play a role in the spermatozoa motility (By similarity). INTERACTION: O76071:CIAO1; NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-1052570, EBI-725145; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton (By similarity). Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, flagellum basal body (By similarity). Golgi apparatus (By similarity). Note=Associates with microtubules (By similarity). Localized to the cytoplasm of round spermatids, the tails of elongating spermatids, and mature spermatid tail bundles protruding into the lumen, and in the flagellum of epididymal spermatozoa (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in the heart, skeletal muscle, pancreas and liver. Weakly or not expressed in brain, placenta, lung and kidney. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the GAS8 family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
