Bio Background |
This gene encodes a component of vacuolar ATPase(V-ATPase), a multisubunit enzyme that mediates acidification ofeukaryotic intracellular organelles. V-ATPase dependent organelleacidification is necessary for such intracellular processes asprotein sorting, zymogen activation, receptor-mediated endocytosis, and synaptic vesicle proton gradient generation. V-ATPase iscomposed of a cytosolic V1 domain and a transmembrane V0 domain.The V1 domain consists of three A and three B subunits, two Gsubunits plus the C, D, E, F, and H subunits. The V1 domaincontains the ATP catalytic site. The V0 domain consists of fivedifferent subunits: a, c, c', c', and d. Additional isoforms ofmany of the V1 and V0 subunit proteins are encoded by multiplegenes or alternatively spliced transcript variants. This encodedprotein is the V1 domain F subunit protein. |
