Function
Peripheral membrane component of the cis-Golgi stack that acts as a membrane skeleton that maintains the structure of the Golgi apparatus, and as a vesicle thether that facilitates vesicle fusion to the Golgi membrane. Required for normal protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus and the cell membrane. Together with p115/USO1 and STX5, involved in vesicle tethering and fusion at the cis-Golgi membrane to maintain the stacked and inter-connected structure of the Golgi apparatus.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Golgi apparatus, cis-Golgi network membrane (Peripheral membrane protein); Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane (Peripheral membrane protein); Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole
Tissue Specificity: Widely expressed. Detected in brain, kidney, lung, liver, spleen, heart, skeletal muscle, thymus and pancreas. Detected in spermatocytes. Present in oocytes during all oocyte meiotic maturation (at protein level)
