VPS13A (Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 13A) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the VPS13A gene.

Function

The protein encoded by this gene may control steps in the cycling of proteins through the trans-Golgi network to endosomes, lysosomes and the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene cause the autosomal recessive disorder, chorea acanthocytosis. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
