This gene encodes a member of the CHMP/Chmp family of proteins which are involved in multivesicular body sorting of proteins to the interiors of lysosomes. The initial prediction of the protein sequence encoded by this gene suggested that the encoded protein was a metallopeptidase. The nomenclature has been updated recently to reflect the correct biological function of this encoded protein. Several transcripts encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Forensic Context
A study in humans and mice identified the CHMP1A as one of eleven apoptosis-related diagnostic marker genes for sepsis through bioinformatic analysis of blood transcriptome data [Sun et al. DOI:10.3389/fgene.2024.1389630].
