This gene encodes a trafficking membrane protein which transports proteins among the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi and between Golgi compartments. This protein is considered an essential component of the Golgi SNAP receptor (SNARE) complex. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],function:Involved in transport from the ER to the Golgi apparatus as well as in intra-Golgi transport.,similarity:Belongs to the GOSR1 family.,subcellular location:Enriched on vesicular components at the terminal rims of the Golgi.,subunit:Interacts with GABARAPL2. Identified in a unique SNARE complex composed of the Golgi SNAREs GOSR2, STX5 and YKT6.,
