VPS28 VPS28 subunit of ESCRT-I

Gene ID: 51160, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CIIA

Summary

This gene encodes a protein subunit of the ESCRT-I complex (endosomal complexes required for transport), which functions in the transport and sorting of proteins into subcellular vesicles. This complex can also be hijacked to facilitate the budding of enveloped viruses from the cell membrane. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
