CORO7 - Coronin 7

This gene encodes a member of the coronin protein family. However, unlike other coronin proteins, it is not an actin-binding protein but rather functions as an F-actin regulator directing anterograde Golgi to endosome transport. The encoded protein has two tandem WD-40 domain repeats and localizes to the trans-Golgi network. The protein undergoes K33-linked polyubiquitination via an E3 ligase complex. It is thought to play an essential role in maintenance of Golgi apparatus morphology. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcripts variants; some of which form read-through transcripts with a neighboring gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]
