Description

ATP6V0B encodes a component of the vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase), a multisubunit enzyme that mediates acidification of intracellular compartments such as lysosomes, endosomes, and secretory vesicles. The V0 subunit B is part of the membrane-bound V0 domain responsible for proton translocation. This gene is essential for organelle pH homeostasis, protein degradation, and cellular signaling.

Protein Summary

ATP6V0B encodes the B subunit of the V0 domain of vacuolar ATPase. This integral membrane protein is essential for proton translocation across membranes. It is ubiquitously expressed with highest levels in kidney and liver. The protein interacts with other V0 subunits to form a proton channel, and its dysfunction is linked to renal acidosis, osteopetrosis, and cancer progression.
