| UniProt functional annotation for Q15075 | |||
| UniProt code: Q15075. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Binds phospholipid vesicles containing phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and participates in endosomal trafficking. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. Binds STX6. Binds RAB5A, RAB5B, RAB5C and RAB22A that have been activated by GTP-binding. Interacts with RAB31. Interacts with ERBB2. Interacts with SAMD9 AND SAMD9L (PubMed:24029230). May interact with PLEKHF2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10394369, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10491193, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10506127, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10807926, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11230696, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11741531, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11870209, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12493736, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16314522, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19725050, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22816767, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24029230, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9697774}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm. Early endosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. | |
| Domain: | The FYVE-type zinc finger domain mediates interactions with phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate in membranes of early endosomes and penetrates bilayers. The FYVE domain insertion into PtdIns(3)P-enriched membranes is substantially increased in acidic conditions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19296456}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Antibodies against EEA1 are found in sera from patients with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune diseases. | |
