VPS54, HCC8, Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 54, Hepatocellular carcinoma protein 8, Tumor antigen HOM-HCC-8, Tumor antigen SLP-8p
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 [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],function:May be involved in retrograde transport from early and late endosomes to late Golgi.,similarity:Belongs to the VPS54 family.,subunit:Component of the Golgi-associated retrograde protein (GARP) complex, also called VFT (VPS fifty-three) complex, composed of VPS52, VPS53 and VPS54.,
