VPS54 VPS54 subunit of GARP complex

Gene ID: 51542, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: WR; HCC8; SLP-8p; VPS54L; hVps54L; PPP1R164

Summary

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]
