Rabbit Anti-Vesicle docking protein p115/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
p115 (Vesicle docking protein p115) is a peripheral membrane protein that is located on the Golgi complex. p115 exists as a homodimer with two globular heads, an extended coiled-coil tail, followed by an acidic domain at the extreme C terminus. p115 is homologous to a yeast protein, Uso1p, which is required for ER to Golgi transport. p115 likely plays an important role in vesicle transportation from the ER to the cis-Golgi comparments.
Function:
General vesicular transport factor required for intercisternal transport in the Golgi stack; it is required for transcytotic fusion and/or subsequent binding of the vesicles to the target membrane. May well act as a vesicular anchor by interacting with the target membrane and holding the vesicular and target membranes in proximity.
Subunit:
Homodimer. Dimerizes by parallel association of the tails, resulting in an elongated structure with two globular head domains side by side, and a long rod-like tail structure (Probable). Interacts with MIF.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm; cytosol. Golgi apparatus membrane. Recycles between the cytosol and the Golgi apparatus during interphase. During interphase, the phosphorylated form is found exclusively in cytosol; the unphosphorylated form is associated with Golgi apparatus membranes.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated in a cell cycle-specific manner; phosphorylated in interphase but not in mitotic cells. Dephosphorylated protein associates with the Golgi membrane; phosphorylation promotes dissociation.
Similarity:
Belongs to the VDP/USO1/EDE1 family.
Contains 10 ARM repeats.
