GORAB

Chr 1AR

golgin, RAB6 interacting

Also known as: GO, NTKLBP1, SCYL1BP1

The protein is a golgin family member that localizes to the Golgi apparatus and functions in the secretory pathway, with additional cytoplasmic localization suggesting a role in mitosis. Mutations cause geroderma osteodysplasticum, a rare connective tissue disorder affecting skin and bone development, inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The gene shows minimal constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI near 0, LOEUF ~1.0), consistent with its recessive inheritance pattern.

Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Low constraint (pLI 0.00) — loss-of-function variants are relatively tolerated in the population.
