Predicted to be involved in Golgi organization and protein secretion. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Is an ortholog of human TANGO2 (transport and golgi organization 2 homolog).
Inferred by orthology to human genes with DO annotation (HGNC:25439)

22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is the most common human deletion syndrome caused by deletion of a small piece of chromosome 22, characterized by neurodevelopmental defects, schizophrenia, congenital cardiac and craniofacial abnormalites (includes DiGeorge Syndrome and velocardiofacial syndrome); the 22q11.2 deletion overlaps several protein-coding genes including TANGO2 (transport and golgi organization 2 homolog); C. elegans R186.1 encodes a putative ortholog of human TANGO2, providing a potential model system to study 22q11.2DS.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
