| Function |
Involved in late steps of the endosomal multivesicular bodies (MVB) pathway. Recognizes membrane-associated ESCRT-III assemblies and catalyzes their disassembly, possibly in combination with membrane fission. Redistributes the ESCRT-III components to the cytoplasm for further rounds of MVB sorting. MVBs contain intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) that are generated by invagination and scission from the limiting membrane of the endosome and mostly are delivered to lysosomes enabling degradation of membrane proteins, such as stimulated growth factor receptors, lysosomal enzymes and lipids. In conjunction with the ESCRT machinery also appears to function in topologically equivalent membrane fission events, such as the terminal stages of cytokinesis and enveloped virus budding (HIV-1 and other lentiviruses). Involved in cytokinesis: retained at the midbody by ZFYVE19/ANCHR and CHMP4C until abscission checkpoint signaling is terminated at late cytokinesis. It is then released following dephosphory

| Subcellular Location |
Prevacuolar compartment membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Late endosome membrane {ECO:0000305}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Midbody. Note=Membrane-associated in the prevacuolar endosomal compartment. Localizes to the midbody of dividing cells, interaction with ZFYVE19/ANCHR mediates retention at midbody (PubMed:24814515). Localized in two distinct rings on either side of the Fleming body. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24814515}.
