YPT6 [YLR262C]
GTP-binding protein YPT6; Rab family GTPase; required for endosome-to-Golgii, intra-Golgi retrograde, and retrograde Golgi-to-ER transport; temporarily at the Golgi, dissociating into the cytosol on arrival of the late Golgi GTPase Ypt32p; Golgi-localized form is GTP bound, while cytosolic form is GDP-bound; required for delivery of Atg9p to the phagophore assembly site during autophagy under heat stress, with Ypt6p for starvation induced autophagy and for the CVT pathway; homolog of mammalian Rab6
Synonyms: YPT6, YPT6p, Q99260, L8479.11, Q99260p ...
