Recombinant Human Vacuolar protein-sorting-associated protein 25 (VPS25)

Uniprot Id

Q9BRG1

Target Species

Human

Target Name

VPS25

Target Full Name

Vacuolar protein-sorting-associated protein 25

Target Function

Component of the ESCRT-II complex (endosomal sorting complex required for transport II), which is required for multivesicular body (MVB) formation and sorting of endosomal cargo proteins into MVBs. The MVB pathway mediates delivery of transmembrane proteins into the lumen of the lysosome for degradation. The ESCRT-II complex is probably involved in the recruitment of the ESCRT-III complex. The ESCRT-II complex may also play a role in transcription regulation, possibly via its interaction with ELL. The ESCRT-II complex may be involved in facilitating the budding of certain RNA viruses.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Endosome membrane. Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Note=Distributes diffusely throughout the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm, but exhibits a punctate distribution on coexpression with CHMP6.

Target Protein Families

VPS25 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed at the mRNA level in kidney, liver, pancreas, and placenta. Lower levels of expression are found in heart, skeletal muscle, brain and lung.

Target Background

This gene encodes a protein that is a subunit of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport II (ESCRT-II). This protein complex functions in sorting of ubiquitinated membrane proteins during endocytosis. A pseudogene of this gene is present on chromosome 1.
