YKT6
Description
The YKT6 (YKT6 v-SNARE homolog) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 7.
YKT6 is a protein involved in vesicular transport between cellular compartments. It is a membrane-associated, isoprenylated protein that plays a role in endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi transport. YKT6 is highly conserved across species, demonstrating its importance in cellular function.
YKT6 is a v-SNARE protein involved in vesicle docking and fusion with specific cellular compartments. It plays a crucial role in transporting cargo from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. YKT6 is part of a SNARE complex composed of GOSR1, GOSR2, and STX5, facilitating this transport. Additionally, YKT6 participates in the movement of cargo from early/recycling endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN), forming a distinct SNARE complex with BET1L, GOSR1, and STX5. Notably, YKT6 exhibits S-palmitoyl transferase activity.
YKT6 is also known as -.
