Torsin-1A-interacting protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TOR1AIP1 gene.[5][6][7] More commonly known as lamina associated polypeptide 1 (LAP1), it is a type II integral membrane protein that resides in the inner nuclear membrane. The luminal domain of LAP1 interacts with Torsin A and is necessary for the ATPase activity of Torsin A. LAP1 plays a critical role in skeletal and heart muscle.[8][9] Mutations in TOR1AIP1 have been linked to muscular dystrophy and cardiomyopathy.[10][11] It's deletion from mouse hepatocytes leads to defected very-low density lipoprotein secretion and causes non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis[12]
