Involved in several processes, including morphogenesis of follicular epithelium; positive regulation of lipid storage; and regulation of imaginal disc-derived wing size. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi stack; Golgi-associated vesicle; and apical cortex. Is expressed in several structures, including adult heart; eye disc; follicle cell; larval central nervous system; and larval ventral nerve cord. Used to study obesity. Orthologous to several human genes including GORASP2 (golgi reassembly stacking protein 2).
FB Description
Grasp65 (Grasp65) encodes a myristoylated Golgi protein that binds the product of GM130 and has been shown to mediate the Golgi bypass of transmembrane proteins.
