Welcome! If you are familiar with the subject of this article, you can contribute to this open access knowledge base by deleting incorrect information, restructuring or completely rewriting any text.

Ideally this entry shall become one comprehensive and continuous article. Bulleted lists, for instance, were only used because it is impossible to automatically integrate independent facts into a continuous text.

Much of the current information on this page has been automatically compiled from Pubmed.

This precompiled information serves as a substrate and matrix to embed your contributions, but it is by no means the final word - Homo sapiens can do much better!

High impact information on VPS29

  • The sequences of the VPS29, VPS30, and VPS35 genes do not yet give any clues to the functions of their products [1].
  • We cloned the Arabidopsis thaliana homologs of the three yeast proteins (Vps35, Vps29, and Vps26) constituting the larger subunit of retromer and prepared antisera against them [2].
  • Vps35p recognizes cargo molecules such as Vps10p and interacts strongly with Vps29p [3].
  • The MAG1 gene encodes a homolog of the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) protein VPS29 [4].
  • VPS29 is a component of a retromer complex for recycling a vacuolar sorting receptor VPS10 from the pre-vacuolar compartment to the Golgi complex [4].
