TGOLN2 trans-golgi network protein 2

Gene ID: 10618, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TGN38; TGN46; TGN48; TGN51; TTGN2; hTGN46; hTGN48; hTGN51

Summary

This gene encodes a type I integral membrane protein that is localized to the trans-Golgi network, a major sorting station for secretory and membrane proteins. The encoded protein cycles between early endosomes and the trans-Golgi network, and may play a role in exocytic vesicle formation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
