Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is essential for bone resorption, and may play a critical role in vesicular transport in the osteoclast. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive osteopetrosis type 6 (OPTB6). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009].
- UniProt Summary: Proposed to act as a multivalent adapter protein that regulates Rab7-dependent and HOPS complex-dependent fusion events in the endolysosomal system and couples autophagic and the endocytic trafficking pathways. Required for late stages of endolysosomal maturation, facilitating both endocytosis-mediated degradation of growth factor receptors and autophagosome clearance. Seems to be involved in the terminal maturation of autophagosomes and to mediate autophagosome-lysosome fusion (PubMed:25498145). Positively regulates lysosome peripheral distribution and ruffled border formation in osteoclasts (By similarity). May be involved in negative regulation of endocytic transport from early endosome to late endosome/lysosome implicating its association with Rab7 (PubMed:20943950). May have a role in sialyl-lex-mediated transduction of apoptotic signals (PubMed:12820725). Involved in bone resorption (By similarity). In case of infection contributes to Salmonella typhimurium pathogenesis by supporting the integrity of the Salmonella- containing vacuole (SCV) probably in concert with the HOPS complex and Rab7 (PubMed:25500191). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5PQS0, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q7TSI1, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12820725, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20943950, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25498145, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25500191, ECO:0000305}.
