SGD DescriptionComponent of CORVET membrane tethering complex; vacuolar peripheral membrane protein that promotes vesicular docking/fusion reactions in conjunction with SNARE proteins, required for vacuolar biogenesis
PomBase DescriptionHOPS/CORVET complex subunit, ubiquitin-protein ligase E3 (predicted)
AspGD DescriptionOrtholog(s) have role in vacuole organization and cell division site, cytosol localization
