Charged Multivesicular Body Protein 2A (CHMP2A) (AA 1-222) protein (His tag)
Description
Chromatin modifying protein 2A (CHMP2A) is a member of the SNF7 family and it is a component of the ESCRT III complex, which is required for MVBs (multivesicular bodies) formation and sorting of endosomal cargo proteins into MVBs. The MVB pathway mediates release of transmembrane proteins into the lumen of the lysosome for degradation. The MVB pathway requires the sequential function of ESCRT-O, -I,-II and -III complexes. ESCRT-III proteins generally detach from the invaginating membrane before the ILV (intraluminal vesicles) is released. ESCRT-III proteins are thought to mediate the basic vesicle extrusion and/or membrane fission activities, probably in conjunction with the AAA ATPase VPS4 Synonyms: Charged multivesicular body protein 2a, Chromatin-modifying protein 2a, Vacuolar protein-sorting-associated protein 2-1, Putative breast adenocarcinoma marker BC-2, Vps2-1, hVps2-1, CHMP2A, BC2, CHMP2, BC-2, VPS2, VPS2A
