Background
VCP, Transitional endoplasmic reticulum ATPase, TER ATPase, 15S Mg(2+)-ATPase p97 subunit, Valosin-containing protein, VCPThe protein encoded by VCP (valosin containing protein) is a member of a family that includes putative ATP-binding proteins involved in vesicle transport and fusion, 26S proteasome function, and assembly of peroxisomes. This protein, as a structural protein, is associated with clathrin, and heat-shock protein Hsc70, to form a complex. It has been implicated in a number of cellular events that are regulated during mitosis, including homotypic membrane fusion, spindle pole body function, and ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation.
