UniProtKB accession:  P40343

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the ESCRT-0 complex which is the sorting receptor for ubiquitinated cargo proteins at the multivesicular body (MVB) and recruits ESCRT-I to the MVB outer membrane (PubMed:11416128, PubMed:11872141, PubMed:12055639, PubMed:12900393, PubMed:14581452, PubMed:1493335, PubMed:15086794, PubMed:15107463, PubMed:15166140, PubMed:17135292, PubMed:18508771, PubMed:3062374, PubMed:9265642). Controls exit from the prevacuolar compartment (PVC) in both the forward direction to the vacuole and the return to the Golgi (PubMed:11208109, PubMed:8649377, PubMed:9015300). Allows VPS10 to return to the (trans-Golgi network) TGN from the PVC (PubMed:8649377). Might also function as an alternate adapter in the COPIb clathrin-like coat (PubMed:17101773).
