Gene information for VPS41 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)

Official gene symbolVPS41
Full namevacuolar protein sorting 41 homolog (S. cerevisiae)
Aliases,HVPS41,HVSP41,hVps41p,
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 encodes the human ortholog of yeast Vps41 protein which is also conserved in Drosophila, tomato, and Arabidopsis. Expression studies in yeast and human indicate that this protein may be involved in the formation and fusion of transport vesicles from the Golgi. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene, however, the full-length nature of not all is known. [provided by RefSeq]
