Primary Identifier | MGI:1890520 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 116733 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in late endosomal microautophagy; multivesicular body assembly; and viral budding from plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within endosome organization. Located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and nasal process. Orthologous to human VPS4A (vacuolar protein sorting 4 homolog A). PHENOTYPE: Mouse embryonic fibroblasts from mice heterozygous for Vps4a and Vps4b null alleles exhibit exhibit increased endo/lysosomal organelles with large multi-membrane structures.
