GM130, a cis-Golgi matrix protein, interacts specifically with p115 and provides a membrane docking site. Both GM130 and p115 are involved in vesicle tethering to Golgi membranes. The protein p115 also binds p400, alternatively called giantin. Giantin, the majority of whose mass projects into the cytoplasm, is involved in the docking of COPI vesicles via p115 to the Golgi membrane. Giantin, which also is known as macrogolgin or Golgi complex-associated protein, is involved in cross-bridge formation in the Golgi complex. Giantin, which can form a homodimer, is a single-pass type I membrane protein that is an antigen in Sjoegren syndrome and in chronic rheumatoid arthritis.
