[1] Horazdovsky BF, Busch GR, Emr SD. VPS21 encodes a rab5-like GTP bindingprotein that is required for the sorting of yeast vacuolar proteins. EMBO J. 1994Mar 15;13(6):1297-309.[PMID:8137814]
Functional Description
Required for protein transport to the vacuole. Involved in two vesicle trafficking steps to the prevacuolar compartment (PVC), regulating the docking of endosomes and Golgi vesicles to the PVC by interacting with PEP7/VAC1 on the PVC membrane and promoting SNARE complex formation.
