VPS52 VPS52 subunit of GARP complex

Gene ID: 6293, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ARE1; SAC2; SACM2L; dJ1033B10.5

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that is similar to the yeast suppressor of actin mutations 2 gene. The yeast protein forms a subunit of the tetrameric Golgi-associated retrograde protein complex that is involved in vesicle trafficking from from both early and late endosomes, back to the trans-Golgi network. This gene is located on chromosome 6 in a head-to-head orientation with the gene encoding ribosomal protein S18. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
