Function

Activating adapter involved in cargo sorting from early/recycling endosomes. Regulates retrieval of proteins from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network through interaction with the dynein-dynactin complex. Dual effector of RAB4B and RAB14, mediates a cooperative interaction allowing endosomal tethering and fusion. Binds phospholipid vesicles containing phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and participates in early endosomal trafficking. In oocytes, self-assembles to form a protein matrix which hold together endolysosomes, autophagosomes and proteasomes and generate non-membrane-bound compartments called endo- lysosomal vesicular assemblies (ELVAs). In immature oocytes, ELVAs sequester ubiquitinated protein aggregates and degrade them upon oocyte maturation (By similarity).
