Transport protein involved in the redistribution of lysosomes to the peri-Golgi region . Plays a role in the maturation of phagosomes that engulf pathogens, such as S.aureus and M.tuberculosis . Plays a role in the fusion of phagosomes with lysosomes . Acts also as a positive regulator of hedgehog signaling and regulates ciliary function (By similarity).
Subcellular locations: Cytoplasm, Golgi apparatus, Cytoplasmic vesicle, Phagosome, Cytoplasmic vesicle, Phagosome membrane, Cell projection, Cilium
Recruited to phagosomes containing S.aureus or M.tuberculosis .
