Function | Vesicle trafficking protein that functions in the early secretory pathway, possibly by mediating retrograde transport from cis-Golgi membranes to the ER. |
Subcellular Location | Membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type IV membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Preferentially associated with the early endosome. To lesser extends, also present in late endosome, the plasma membrane and coated pits (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in heart. Also found in brain, kidney, liver, lung, placenta, skeletal muscle, spleen and pancreas. |
Top Pathways | SNARE interactions in vesicular transport |
