Protein
Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 53 homolog
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Function
Acts as component of the GARP complex that is involved in retrograde transport from early and late endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) (PubMed:21613545). The GARP complex facilitates tethering as well as SNARE complex assembly at the Golgi (PubMed:21613545). Plays a role in the trafficking of cargo to dense-core vesicles, probably through association with the EARP-interacting protein eipr-1 (PubMed:27191843). Important for neuronal function (PubMed:27191843).
Similarity
Belongs to the VPS53 family.
