Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity and structural molecule activity. Involved in several processes, including bicoid mRNA localization; imaginal disc-derived male genitalia morphogenesis; and maintenance of epithelial cell apical/basal polarity. Predicted to be part of ESCRT II complex. Is expressed in organism. Used to study cancer and carcinoma. Orthologous to human VPS25 (vacuolar protein sorting 25 homolog).
FB Description
Vacuolar protein sorting 25 (Vps25) encodes a member of the ESCRT-II complex, which sorts certain endocytosed receptors for degradation via the multivesicular body. As part of this complex, the product of Vps25 also has a role in bcd RNA localization.
