Synonyms | FAPP2 |
Function | Cargo transport protein that is required for apical transport from the Golgi complex. Transports AQP2 from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to sites of AQP2 phosphorylation. Mediates the non-vesicular transport of glucosylceramide (GlcCer) from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the plasma membrane and plays a pivotal role in the synthesis of complex glycosphingolipids. Binding of both phosphatidylinositol 4- phosphate (PIP) and ARF1 are essential for the GlcCer transfer ability. Also required for primary cilium formation, possibly by being involved in the transport of raft lipids to the apical membrane, and for membrane tubulation. |
Cellular Location | Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note=Binds through its PH domain to PtdIns(4)P and ARF1, and subsequently localizes to TGN exit sites |
Tissue Location | Expressed in kidney cell lines. |

Background
PLEKHA8 is involved in TGN-to-plasma membrane transport and in the formation of post-Golgi constitutive carriers. May play a role in ensuring the coordination of the budding and the fission reactions.
