Description

GORASP2 (Golgi Reassembly Stacking Protein 2) encodes a protein that plays a critical role in the stacking of Golgi cisternae and the reassembly of the Golgi apparatus after mitosis. It functions as a membrane tethering factor and is involved in protein transport and secretion. The protein localizes to the Golgi apparatus and interacts with other Golgi matrix proteins.

Protein Summary

GORASP2 encodes GRASP55, a 55 kDa Golgi reassembly stacking protein that localizes to the Golgi apparatus. It is essential for maintaining Golgi structure and function, particularly during mitotic reassembly. The protein contains a GRASP domain and interacts with other Golgi matrix components to tether Golgi membranes.
