As in yeast, mammalian Vps54 proteins contain a coiled-coil region and dileucine motifs. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] Expression Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 11.2), prostate (RPKM 10.0) and 25 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
