Function |
May play a role in vesicle-mediated protein trafficking to lysosomal compartments and in membrane docking/fusion reactions of late endosomes/lysosomes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11382755}.
|
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.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Ubiquitous. Expression was highest in heart and low in lung. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11382755}.
