Vps26b Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in intracellular protein transport; regulation of neurotransmitter receptor localization to postsynaptic specialization membrane; and retrograde transport, endosome to Golgi. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to type II interferon. Predicted to be located in early endosome; late endosome; and phagocytic vesicle. Predicted to be part of retromer complex. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic early endosome; and postsynaptic recycling endosome. Orthologous to human VPS26B (VPS26 retromer complex component B). [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 Vps26b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
