Gene information for VPS33B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID26276
Official gene symbolVPS33B
Full namevacuolar protein sorting 33 homolog B (yeast)
Aliases,FLJ14848,
Gene summaryVesicle mediated protein sorting plays an important role in segregation of intracellular molecules into distinct organelles. Genetic studies in yeast have identified more than 40 vacuolar protein sorting (VPS) genes involved in vesicle transport to vacuoles. This gene is a member of the Sec-1 domain family, and encodes the human ortholog of rat Vps33b which is homologous to the yeast class C Vps33 protein. The mammalian class C Vps proteins are predominantly associated with late endosomes/lysosomes, and like their yeast counterparts, may mediate vesicle trafficking steps in the endosome/lysosome pathway.
