Rabbit Anti-CHMP5/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Probable peripherally associated component of the endosomal sorting required for transport complex III (ESCRT-III) which is involved in multivesicular bodies (MVBs) formation and sorting of endosomal cargo proteins into MVBs. MVBs contain intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) that are generated by invagination and scission from the limiting membrane of the endosome and mostly are delivered to lysosomes enabling degradation of membrane proteins, such as stimulated growth factor receptors, lysosomal enzymes and lipids. The MVB pathway appears to require the sequential function of ESCRT-O, -I,-II and -III complexes. ESCRT-III proteins mostly dissociate from the invaginating membrane before the ILV is released. The ESCRT machinery also functions in topologically equivalent membrane fission events, such as the terminal stages of cytokinesis and the budding of enveloped viruses (HISLV1 and other lentiviruses). ESCRT-III proteins are believed to mediate the necessary vesicle extrusion and/or membrane fission activities, possibly in conjunction with the AAA ATPase VPS4. Involved in HISLV1 p6- and p9-dependent virus release.

Subunit:
Probable peripherally associated component of the endosomal sorting required for transport complex III (ESCRT-III). ESCRT-III components are thought to multimerize to form a flat lattice on the perimeter membrane of the endosome. Several assembly forms of ESCRT-III may exist that interact and act sequentally. Interacts with VTA1. Interacts with CHMP2A. Interacts with VTA1; the interaction involves soluble CHMP5.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm; cytosol. Endosome membrane. Localizes to the midbody of dividing cells. Localized in two distinct rings on either side of the Fleming body.
Post-translational modifications:
ISGylated. Isgylation inhibits its interaction with VTA1.
Similarity:
Belongs to the SNF7 family.
