Vps52 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable syntaxin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cytosolic transport; endocytic recycling; and vacuolar transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within ectodermal cell differentiation and embryonic ectodermal digestive tract development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and recycling endosome. Predicted to be part of EARP complex and GARP complex. Predicted to be active in postsynapse and presynapse. Orthologous to human VPS52 (VPS52 subunit of GARP complex). [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 rat Vps52 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
