VPS53
Introduction
Vacuolar protein sorting 53 homolog (S. cerevisiae) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the VPS53 gene.[1]
Function
Function
This gene encodes a protein with sequence similarity to the yeast Vps53p protein. Vps53p is involved in retrograde vesicle trafficking in late Golgi. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
Mutations in VPS53 cause cerebello-cerebral atrophy type 2 .[2]
