VPS39 VPS39 subunit of HOPS complex

Gene ID: 23339, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TLP; VAM6; hVam6p

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that may promote clustering and fusion of late endosomes and lysosomes. The protein may also act as an adaptor protein that modulates the transforming growth factor-beta response by coupling the transforming growth factor-beta receptor complex to the Smad pathway. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
