    basic FUNCTION
  • delivery of protein to lysosomes
  • is not required for normal retinal development or initiation of melanin biosynthesis, but is required for melanosome maturation and healthy maintenance of the RPE and photoreceptors (PMId: 21622697)
  • is involved in regulation of glycolipid degradation and retrograde toxin transport
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS cellular trafficking transport
    PATHWAY

    small molecule nucleotide,
    ATP binding
    protein
  • ECM29 binding VPS11, RAB11FIP4, and rabaptin
  • VPS18 N-terminal domain can interact with the N-terminal part of VPS11 and also binds to lipids
