Vacuolar protein-sorting-associated protein 24

UniProtKB accession:  P36095

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Class E VPS protein implicated in concentration and sorting of cargo proteins of the multivesicular body (MVB) for incorporation into intralumenal vesicles. The lumenal sequestrated membrane proteins will be targeted into the vacuole after fusion of the endosome with the vacuole. Acts a component of the ESCRT-III complex, which appears to be critical for late steps in MVB sorting, such as membrane invagination and final cargo sorting and recruitment oflate-acting components of the sorting machinery. The MVB pathway requires the sequential function of ESCRT-O, -I,-II and -III complex assemblies. The DID4/VPS2-VPS24 subcomplex is required for the VPS4-dependent dissociation of ESCRT-III.
