AIPL1
gene geneOn this page
Summary
AIPL1 (AIP like 1 HSP90 co-chaperone, HGNC:359) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17p13.2, encoding Aryl-hydrocarbon-interacting protein-like 1 (Q9NZN9). May be important in protein trafficking and/or protein folding and stabilization.
Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is the most severe inherited retinopathy with the earliest age of onset and accounts for at least 5% of all inherited retinal diseases. Affected individuals are diagnosed at birth or in the first few months of life with nystagmus, severely impaired vision or blindness and an abnormal or flat electroretinogram. The photoreceptor/pineal-expressed gene, AIPL1, encoding aryl-hydrocarbon interacting protein-like 1, is located within the LCA4 candidate region. The encoded protein contains three tetratricopeptide motifs, consistent with chaperone or nuclear transport activity. Mutations in this gene may cause approximately 20% of recessive LCA. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. May be important in protein trafficking and/or protein folding and stabilization.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with NUB1.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in retina. Specifically localized to the developing photoreceptor layer and within the photoreceptors of the adult retina.
Disease relevance. Leber congenital amaurosis 4 (LCA4) [MIM:604393] A severe dystrophy of the retina, typically becoming evident in the first years of life. Visual function is usually poor and often accompanied by nystagmus, sluggish or near-absent pupillary responses, photophobia, high hyperopia and keratoconus. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
