SNF8: Proteins and Enzymes

Component of the escrt-ii complex, which is required for multivesicular bodies (mvbs) formation and sorting of endosomal cargo proteins into mvbs. the mvb pathway mediates delivery of transmembrane proteins into the lumen of the lysosome for degradation. the escrt-ii complex is probably involved in the recruitment of the escrt-iii complex. the escrt-ii complex may also play a role in transcription regulation by participating in derepression of transcription by rna polymerase ii, possibly via its interaction with ell.
