N-terminal region of Chorein, a TM vesicle-mediated sorter; Although mutations in the full-length vacuolar protein sorting 13A (VPS13A) protein in vertebrates lead to the disease of chorea-acanthocytosis, the exact function of any of the regions within the protein is not yet known. This region is the proposed leucine zipper at the N-terminus. The full-length protein is a transmembrane protein with a presumed role in vesicle-mediated sorting and intracellular protein transport.
