Co-localization with the cis-Golgi marker GM130/GOLGA2 (RRID:AB_398141) for a refined protein localization within the Golgi apparatus in U-2 OS cells. USO1 localizes to the Golgi apparatus, and is only detected in the cis-Golgi compartment.
The protein encoded by this gene is a peripheral membrane protein which recycles between the cytosol and the Golgi apparatus during interphase. It is regulated by phosphorylation: dephosphorylated protein associates with the Golgi membrane and dissociates from the membrane upon phosphorylation. Ras-associated protein 1 recruits this protein to coat protein complex II (COPII) vesicles during budding from the endoplasmic reticulum, where it interacts with a set of COPII vesicle-associated SNAREs to form a cis-SNARE complex that promotes targeting to the Golgi apparatus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
