Target Details for VCP

Target: VCP (Valosin Containing Protein (VCP))

Alternative Name: VCP

Background:

Synonyms: Transitional endoplasmic reticulum ATPase,TER ATPase,3.6.4.6,15S Mg (2+)-ATPase p97 subunit,Valosin-containing protein,VCP,VCP,

Tissue Specificity: Cerebral white matter and plasma. Isoform V0 and isoform V1 are expressed in normal brain, gliomas, medulloblastomas, schwannomas, neurofibromas, and meningiomas. Isoform V2 is restricted to normal brain and gliomas. Isoform V3 is found in all these tissues except medulloblastomas.

Background: Valosin-containing protein also called CDC48 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the VCP gene. It is a member of the AAA+ (ATPase associated with various activities) protein family. The VCP gene maps to chromosome 9p13.3. It is necessary for the fragmentation of Golgi stacks during mitosis and for their reassembly after mitosis. It is involved in the formation of the transitional endoplasmic reticulum. This gene plays a role in vesicle transport and fusion, 26S proteasome function, and assembly of peroxisomes. It also involved in DNA damage response: recruited to double-strand breaks (DSBs) sites in a RNF8- and RNF168-dependent manner and promotes the recruitment of TP53BP1 at DNA damage sites.

Sequence Similarities: Belongs to the AAA ATPase family.
