Golgin subfamily A member 2 (GOLGA2) is a type of protein encoded in the golgi apparatus which play a role in vesticular transport.
Golgin subfamily A member 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GOLGA2 gene. 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 encoded protein has been postulated to play roles in the stacking of Golgi cisternae and in vesicular transport. The golgins are a family of proteins, of which the protein encoded by this gene is a member, that are localized to the Golgi. Interactions between the Golgi and microtubules are thought to be important for the reorganization of the Golgi after it fragments during mitosis.
