Entrez 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 is a member of the Sec-1 domain family, and it encodes a protein similar to the yeast class C Vps33 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.

Staining summary

Most normal tissues displayed weak to moderate nuclear and/or cytoplasmic positivity. Strong cytoplasmic staining was observed in hepatocytes, adrenal cortex, renal tubules and heart while Purkinje cells showed strong nuclear staining. Alveolar cells, most cells in CNS and lymphoid tissues were negative.
