TPD52L2 explained

Tumor protein D54 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TPD52L2 gene.[1] [2]

Interactions

TPD52L2 has been shown to interact with TPD52L1 and TPD52.[1]

Cellular function

TPD52L2 has a role in membrane traffic.[3] TPD52L2 is found on small transport vesicles, termed intracellular nanovesicles, that transfer proteins between different cellular compartments. When TPD52L2 is depleted from HeLa cells, the following trafficking pathways are impaired: anterograde traffic, recycling of cargo and Golgi integrity.[3] Proteomic analysis indicates that TPD52L2 is one of the most abundant proteins expressed in HeLa cells.[4]
