Vps16 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables actin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within symbiont entry into host cell. Located in actin filament; clathrin-coated vesicle; and early endosome membrane. Part of AP-3 adaptor complex and CORVET complex. Used to study dystonia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dystonia 30. Orthologous to human VPS16 (VPS16 core subunit of CORVET and HOPS complexes). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Vps16 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
