C27F2.5 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the conserved vacuolar protein sorting protein EAP30/SNF8/VPS22; by homology, the product of C27F2.5 is predicted to be a component of an ESCRT-II complex (Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport) that functions in endosomal transport.
Predicted to be involved in protein transport to vacuole involved in ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process via the multivesicular body sorting pathway. Predicted to be part of ESCRT II complex. Expressed in body wall musculature; pharyngeal muscle cell; pharynx; and vulval muscle. Is an ortholog of human SNF8 (SNF8 subunit of ESCRT-II).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
