Gene:
vacuolar protein sorting 54 (yeast)
Gene ID:
192779
Symbol:
VPS54
Species:
1000
Description:
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
