TRAPPC6A (trafficking protein particle complex 6A), also known as TRS33 or HSPC289, is a 159 amino acid protein that localizes to the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Belonging to the TRAPP small subunits family and the BET3 subfamily, TRAPPC6A may play a role in vesicular transport during the biogenesis of melanosomes. TRAPPC6A is part of the multisubunit TRAPP tethering complex, which acts as a GTP exchange factor. TRAPPC6A exists as a heterodimer with TRAPPC3 and undergoes alternative splicing to produce two isoforms. TRAPPC6A is encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 19, which consists of approximately 63 million bases and makes up over 2% of human genomic DNA. Chromosome 19 is recognized for having the greatest gene density of the human chromosomes. It is the genetic home for a number of immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily members, including the killer cell and leukocyte Ig-like receptors, a variety of ICAMs, the CEACAM and PSG families and Fc receptors (FcRs). |
