Gene: VPS52

Alternate names for this Gene: ARE1|SAC2|SACM2L|dJ1033B10.5

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that is similar to the yeast suppressor of actin mutations 2 gene. The yeast protein forms a subunit of the tetrameric Golgi-associated retrograde protein complex that is involved in vesicle trafficking from from both early and late endosomes, back to the trans-Golgi network. This gene is located on chromosome 6 in a head-to-head orientation with the gene encoding ribosomal protein S18. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6p21.32

Description of this Gene: VPS52 subunit of GARP complex

Type of Gene: protein-coding
