It is involved mechanically in a range of cellular activities. VCP has a mass of approximately 97 kDa and is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues. It plays a role in protein homeostasis particularly in the degradation process of misfolded proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. This protein comprises the D1 and D2 ATPase domains that are important for its unfolding activities.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe VCP protein operates as a vital part of cellular machinery and functions in various complexes. It assists in protein quality control by participating in processes such as ER-associated degradation (ERAD) where it retrotranslocates misfolded proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum for degradation. VCP also contributes to the regulation of endocytosis autophagy and cell cycle control. These functions are important in maintaining cellular integrity.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nVCP integrates into cellular processes by engaging in essential pathways like the ubiquitin-proteasome system and autophagy. It associates with proteins such as UFD1 and NPL4 in these pathways illustrating its multifaceted role in cellular regulation. VCP's action is closely tied with the p97 protein complexes where it influences protein degradation and recycling thereby controlling protein turnover.\u003cbr\u003e\nThere are findings linking VCP to conditions such as inclusion body myopathy and Paget's disease of bone. Its malfunction due to mutations can trigger these diseases affecting muscle and bone tissues respectively. VCP's connection to other proteins like Parkin and Optineurin in these disorders highlights the protein's relevance in neurodegenerative and skeletal disease pathways emphasizing its pivotal role in maintaining cellular health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843982643369,"sku":"ab269130","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab269130","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
