Description

MVB12B encodes a component of the ESCRT-I complex, which is essential for multivesicular body (MVB) biogenesis and sorting of ubiquitinated membrane proteins into intraluminal vesicles. The protein contains a ubiquitin E2 variant (UEV) domain and a Vps28-binding domain, facilitating cargo recognition and complex assembly. MVB12B is involved in endosomal trafficking, receptor downregulation, and cytokinesis.

Protein Summary

MVB12B is a 272-amino-acid protein (UniProt Q9H7P6) that functions as a subunit of the ESCRT-I complex. It contains an N-terminal UEV domain that binds ubiquitin and a C-terminal region that interacts with VPS28. The protein is localized to endosomes and the midbody, playing roles in membrane remodeling, receptor degradation, and abscission during cell division.
