Activity summary

GOLPH2 also known as GOLM1 or Golgi membrane protein 1 has a significant mechanical role in the cell. It is a 73-kilodalton protein found mainly in the Golgi apparatus. This protein gets expressed in various tissues with notable levels in the liver and other organs involved in secretion. It acts as a transmembrane protein in the Golgi where it helps in processing and sorting secretory proteins influencing how proteins move through secretory pathways.

Biological function summary

GOLPH2 plays an essential role in maintaining Golgi function and efficient protein trafficking. It does not belong to a large protein complex but its proper functioning is critical for handling secretory pathways. The protein keeps secretory flow organized which affects cellular responses and interactions with the environment. The GOLPH2 protein also has connections to immunity responding to stimuli like infections or inflammation.

Pathways

GOLPH2 actively participates in secretory pathways and protein transport systems. Its role includes coordination with other Golgi proteins to facilitate protein modification and sorting. GOLPH2 interacts with other proteins like GOLM1 and GOLPH3 impacting the Golgi's structural organization and influencing pathways like vesicular transport. These interactions are important for adapting the intracellular environment to external demands.

Associated diseases and disorders

GOLPH2 levels change in diseases such as liver cancer and hepatitis. These changes can serve as biomarkers for diagnosis and disease progression monitoring. GOLPH2 also connects with proteins involved in these diseases including AFP a known tumor marker. Understanding GOLPH2's role in such conditions aids research in developing diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies.
