VPS18 (Vacuolar Protein Sorting 18) is a key component of the Homotypic Fusion and Protein Sorting (HOPS) complex, which plays a critical role in intracellular membrane trafficking, particularly in endolysosomal pathways. As a member of the Class C VPS family, VPS18 acts as a scaffold protein, facilitating the assembly and stabilization of the HOPS complex. This complex mediates membrane tethering and fusion events between late endosomes, lysosomes, and autophagosomes, ensuring proper cargo transport, organelle maturation, and degradation processes. Structurally, VPS18 contains clathrin-heavy chain repeats and a RING-H2 domain, enabling interactions with other HOPS subunits (VPS11. VPS16. VPS33A, VPS39. VPS41) and SNARE proteins.
Recombinant human VPS18 protein is typically produced in expression systems like E. coli or mammalian cells for functional studies. Its recombinant form aids in elucidating mechanisms of lysosomal biogenesis, autophagy, and endocytic trafficking. Dysregulation of VPS18 is linked to lysosomal storage disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and immune dysfunctions. Researchers employ recombinant VPS18 to investigate molecular pathways in conditions like Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome and to develop targeted therapies. The protein’s role in maintaining cellular homeostasis makes it a focus for drug discovery and gene therapy research. Current studies also explore its involvement in cancer progression and metabolic disorders through lysosome-related signaling.
