背景信息:
GIMAP5, also known as IAN5, IAN4L1 (immunity-associated nucleotide 4-like 1 protein), IAN4, IMAP3, HIMAP3 or IROD, is a 307 amino acid single-pass type IV membrane protein of the mitochondrial outer membrane. A member of the GTP-binding superfamily and the immuno-associated nucleotide (IAN) subfamily, GIMAP5 plays a role in T-cell survival and mitochondrial integrity. GIMAP5 is highly expressed in CD4 and CD8-positive T-cells and monocytes, as well as B-lymphocyte-derived neoplasms. GIMAP5 exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms and is encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 7q36.1. Defects in the GIMAP5 gene are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus.
