CHMP4A Products

CHMP4A (charged MVB protein 4A) is one of the three isoforms of CHMP4, the human equivalent of yeast Snf7 (so CHMP4A is also referred to as hSnf7-1). It is a component of the ESCRT-III (endosomal sorting complex required for transport III) complex. The ESCRT complexes mediate membrane budding away from the cytosol and cleavage of membrane necks (membrane fission) from the cytosolic face; hence, they are key in processes such as the formation of MVBs (multivesicular bodies), enveloped virus ...
