| Type: | Domain | Name: | Vacuolar sorting protein 39/Transforming growth factor beta receptor-associated domain 2 |
| Description: | This entry represents a domain found in the vacuolar sorting protein Vps39 and transforming growth factor beta receptor-associated protein Trap1. Vps39, a component of the C-Vps complex, is thought to be required for the fusion of endosomes and other types of transport intermediates with the vacuole [, ]. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae(Baker's yeast), Vps39 has been shown to stimulate nucleotide exchange []. Trap1 plays a role in the TGF-beta/activin signaling pathway. It associates with inactive heteromeric TGF-beta and activin receptor complexes, mainly through the type II receptor, and is released upon activation of signaling [, ]. The precise function of this domain has not been characterised In Vps39 this domain is involved in localisation and in mediating the interactions with Vps11 []. | Short Name: | VPS39/TGF_beta_rcpt-assoc_2 |
