Activity summary

TGN46 also known as trans-Golgi network protein 46 is an important membrane protein associated with the trans-Golgi network. The protein has a mass of approximately 46 kDa and plays a role in the sorting and trafficking of proteins to their proper destinations within the cell. TGN46 is widely expressed in various cell types and is commonly used as a Golgi marker in cell biology studies helping to identify Golgi apparatus in cells.

Biological function summary

The protein TGN46 functions in the sorting and transport mechanisms within the cell. It does not function as a part of a large macromolecular complex but it interacts with several other proteins to facilitate the movement of proteins from the Golgi to other sites within the cell. The protein also associates with trafficking components to ensure the correct delivery of proteins to the plasma membrane or lysosomes.

Pathways

The role of TGN46 involves participation in intracellular transport and protein trafficking pathways. It interacts with clathrin-coated vesicles and works closely with proteins such as gamma-adaptin and epsin which are important for vesicle formation and transport. These interactions highlight its involvement in protein secretion and membrane transport pathways which are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis.

Associated diseases and disorders

TGN46 appears to have connections to neurodegenerative diseases and certain forms of cancer although the mechanisms are not fully understood. Alterations in TGN46 have been observed in Alzheimer's disease where it may intersect with proteins like amyloid precursor protein (APP) in protein misfolding and aggregation pathways. Additionally changes in TGN46 expression levels have been implicated in prostate cancer potentially due to its role in protein sorting and dysregulation of cellular trafficking processes.
