This gene encodes a protein that interacts with the tethering factor trafficking protein particle (TRAPP complex). TRAPP complexes mediate the contact between vescicles and target membranes, and thus, are involved in vescicle-mediated transport of proteins and lipids. The encoded protein is related to the X-linked trafficking protein particle complex 2. A related pseudogene is located on the X chromosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016].
