Protein
AP-3 complex subunit sigma
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Part of the AP-3 complex, an adaptor-related complex which seems to be clathrin-associated. The complex is associated with the Golgi region as well as more peripheral structures. It facilitates the budding of vesicles from the Golgi membrane and may be directly involved in trafficking to the vacuole. It also function in maintaining the identity of lytic vacuoles and in regulating the transition between storage and lytic vacuoles (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the adaptor complexes small subunit family.
