| Gene Symbol | ALS2 |
| Full Name | Alsin |
| Chromosome | 2q33.1 |
| Protein Family | RCC1 (Regulator of Chromosome Condensation 1) superfamily, GEFs for small GTPases |
| Function | is a large 184 kDa protein encoded by the ALS2 gene that functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for small GTPases, primarily Rab5 and Rac1[@hadano2001][@yang2001]. |
| Primary Expression | Highest in motor neurons, brain cortex, hippocampus |
| Subcellular Localization | mitochondria in an ALS2-dependent manner, supporting a cytoprotective response. ALS2-deficient motor neurons show impair |
