Summary
DENND5A (DENN domain containing 5A, HGNC:19344) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11p15.4, encoding DENN domain-containing protein 5A (Q6IQ26). Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) which may activate RAB6A and RAB39A and/or RAB39B.
This gene encodes a DENN-domain-containing protein that functions as a RAB-activating guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF). This protein catalyzes the conversion of GDP to GTP and thereby converts inactive GDP-bound Rab proteins into their active GTP-bound form. The encoded protein is recruited by RAB6 onto Golgi membranes and is therefore referred to as RAB6-interacting protein 1. This protein binds with RAB39 as well. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Mutations in this gene are associated with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy-49.

Function. Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) which may activate RAB6A and RAB39A and/or RAB39B. Promotes the exchange of GDP to GTP, converting inactive GDP-bound Rab proteins into their active GTP-bound form. Involved in the negative regulation of neurite outgrowth.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with RAB6A bound to GTP.
Subcellular location. Golgi apparatus membrane.
Disease relevance. Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 49 (DEE49) [MIM:617281] A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of severe early-onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. DEE49 is a severe autosomal recessive form characterized by onset of seizures in the neonatal period, global developmental delay, intellectual disability, and additionally cerebral calcifications and coarse facial features. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the RAB6IP1 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 85 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
