ID:VP26A_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 26A; AltName: Full=Vesicle protein sorting 26A; Short=hVPS26; FUNCTION: Essential component of the retromer complex, a complex required to retrieve lysosomal enzyme receptors (IGF2R and M6PR) from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network. Also required to regulate transcytosis of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR-pIgA). SUBUNIT: Component of the retromer complex composed of VPS26 (VPS26A or VPS26B), VPS29, VPS35, SNX1 and SNX2. Interacts directly with VPS35. Found in a complex with XPO7, EIF4A1, ARHGAP1, VPS26A, VPS29, VPS35 and SFN. Interacts with ECM29. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Endosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. INDUCTION: Down-regulated in Alzheimer disease. No polymorphism or variant is however associated with Alzheimer disease for VPS26A. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the VPS26 family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
