[5][6][7][8] The Golgi apparatus, which participates in glycosylation and transport of proteins and lipids in the secretory pathway, consists of a series of stacked cisternae (flattened membrane sacs).

This protein is a coiled-coil membrane protein that has been postulated to play a role in vesicle tethering and docking.

Translocations involving this gene and the ret proto-oncogene have been found in tumor tissues; the chimeric sequences have been designated RET-II and PTC5.
