Vps37b Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable calcium-dependent protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of viral budding via host ESCRT complex; protein targeting; and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process via the multivesicular body sorting pathway. Predicted to be located in endosome membrane; midbody; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of ESCRT I complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; cranium; and retina. Orthologous to human VPS37B (VPS37B subunit of ESCRT-I).

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 Vps37b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
