Gene information for VPS11 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
| Entrez gene ID | 55823 |
| Official gene symbol | VPS11 |
| Full name | vacuolar protein sorting 11 homolog (S. cerevisiae) |
| Aliases | ,END1,PEP5,RNF108,hVPS11, |
| Gene summary | Vesicle 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 homolog of yeast class C Vps11 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.
