Gene information for VPS29 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51699
Official gene symbolVPS29
Full namevacuolar protein sorting 29 homolog (S. cerevisiae)
Aliases,DC15,DC7,DKFZp564F0223,FLJ20492,PEP11,
Gene summaryThis gene belongs to a group of vacuolar protein sorting (VPS) genes that, when functionally impaired, disrupt the efficient delivery of vacuolar hydrolases. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of a large multimeric complex, termed the retromer complex, which is involved in retrograde transport of proteins from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network. This VPS protein may be involved in the formation of the inner shell of the retromer coat for retrograde vesicles leaving the prevacuolar compartment. Alternative splice variants encoding different isoforms, and usage of multiple polyadenylation sites have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
