VSP29 (Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 29) plays a role in vesicular protein sorting. Component of the membrane-associated retromer complex which is essential in endosome-to-Golgi retrograde transport. Required for the auxin-carrier protein PIN2 sorting to the lytic vacuolar pathway and the PIN1 recycling to the plasma membrane. Also involved in the efficient sorting of seed storage proteins globulin 12S and albumin 2S. The VPS29-VPS26-VPS35 subcomplex may be involved in recycling of specific cargos from endosome to the plasma membrane. Cellular localisation: endosome and Golgi apparatus.Alternative names: MAIGO1, Vesicle protein sorting 29
