VPS13A (Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 13A) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the VPS13A gene.{{cite journal | vauthors = Rubio JP, Danek A, Stone C, Chalmers R, Wood N, Verellen C, Ferrer X, Malandrini A, Fabrizi GM, Manfredi M, Vance J, Pericak-Vance M, Brown R, Rudolf G, Picard F, Alonso E, Brin M, Németh AH, Farrall M, Monaco AP | title = Chorea-acanthocytosis: genetic linkage to chromosome 9q21 | journal = American Journal of Human Genetics | volume = 61 | issue = 4 | pages = 899–908 | date = Oct 1997 | pmid = 9382101 | pmc = 1715977 | doi = 10.1086/514876 }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Rampoldi L, Dobson-Stone C, Rubio JP, Danek A, Chalmers RM, Wood NW, Verellen C, Ferrer X, Malandrini A, Fabrizi GM, Brown R, Vance J, Pericak-Vance M, Rudolf G, Carrè S, Alonso E, Manfredi M, Németh AH, Monaco AP | title = A conserved sorting-associated protein is mutant in chorea-acanthocytosis | journal = Nature Genetics | volume = 28 | issue = 2 | pages = 119–20 | date = Jun 2001 | pmid = 11381253 | doi = 10.1038/88821 | s2cid = 2754015 }}{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: VPS13A vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog A (S. cerevisiae)| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=23230}}

Function

The protein encoded by this gene may control steps in the cycling of proteins through the trans-Golgi network to endosomes, lysosomes and the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene cause the autosomal recessive disorder, chorea acanthocytosis. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
