Vps33b (NM_178070) Mouse Recombinant Protein

May play a role in vesicle-mediated protein trafficking to lysosomal compartments and in membrane docking/fusion reactions of late endosomes/lysosomes. Mediates phagolysosomal fusion in macrophages. Proposed to be involved in endosomal maturation implicating in part VIPAS39 (By similarity) . In epithelial cells, the VPS33B:VIPAS39 complex may play a role in the apical RAB11A-dependentrecycling pathway and in the maintenance of the apical-basolateral polarity (PubMed:20190753) . Seems to be involved in the sorting of specific cargos from the trans-Golgi network to alpha-granule-destined multivesicular bodies (MVBs) promoting MVBs maturation in megakaryocytes (PubMed:25947942) .[UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Function]
