Recombinant Human Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 54 (VPS54), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q9P1Q0

Target Species

Human

Target Name

VPS54

Target Full Name

Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 54

Target Function

Acts as component of the GARP complex that is involved in retrograde transport from early and late endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN). The GARP complex is required for the maintenance of the cycling of mannose 6-phosphate receptors between the TGN and endosomes, this cycling is necessary for proper lysosomal sorting of acid hydrolases such as CTSD. Within the GARP complex, required to tether the complex to the TGN. Not involved in endocytic recycling.

Target Subcellular Location

Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network. Membrane.

Target Protein Families

VPS54 family

Target Synonyms

VPS54; HCC8; Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 54; Hepatocellular carcinoma protein 8; Tumor antigen HOM-HCC-8; Tumor antigen SLP-8p

Target Background

This gene encodes for a protein that in yeast forms part of a trimeric vacuolar-protein-sorting complex that is required for retrograde transport of proteins from prevacuoles to the late Golgi compartment. As in yeast, mammalian Vps54 proteins contain a coiled-coil region and dileucine motifs. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms
