Background
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the FYVE zinc finger family of proteins. The encoded protein interacts with Ras-related proteins that regulate membrane trafficking. A missense mutation in this gene is associated with a defect in the early endocytic pathway. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014],function:Rab4/Rab5 effector protein acting in early endocytic membrane fusion and membrane trafficking of recycling endosomes. Required for endosome fusion either homotypically or with clathrin coated vesicles. Plays a role in the lysosomal trafficking of cathepsin D from the Golgi to lysosomes. Also promotes the recycling of transferrin directly from early endosomes to the plasma membrane. Binds phospholipid vesicles containing phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdInsP3).,similarity:Contains 1 C2H2-type zinc finger.,similarity:Contains 1 FYVE-type zinc finger.,similarity:Contains 1 UIM (ubiquitin-interacting motif) repeat.,subunit:Interacts with EHD1, RAB4A, RAB5A, RAB22A, RAB24 and VPS45. Binds simultaneously to RAB4A and RAB5A in vitro. Interacts with RAB4A and RAB5A that has been activated by GTP binding.,
