| Function |
May play a role in vesicle-mediated protein trafficking to lysosomal compartments and in membrane docking/fusion reactions of late endosomes/lysosomes. Mediates phagolysosomal fusion in macrophages. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18474358}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Late endosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Lysosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Note=Cytoplasmic, peripheral membrane protein associated with late endosomes/lysosomes. Colocalizes with M.tuberculosis PtpA in the cytosol of tuberculosis-infected macrophages and associates with phagosomes. Colocalizes in clusters with VIPAS39 at cytoplasmic organelles.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Ubiquitous; highly expressed in testis and low expression in the lung.
