Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 16

UniProtKB accession:  Q03308

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Essential for vacuolar protein sorting. Required for vacuole biogenesis, stability and to maintain vacuole morphology. Required for growth at elevated temperatures. Acts as a component of the HOPS complex that acts during the docking stage of vacuole fusion. HOPS is an effector for the vacuolar Rab GTPase YPT7 and is required for vacuolar SNARE complex assembly. It remains bound to SNARE complexes after vacuole fusion.
