Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nYIPF4 is a multi‐transmembrane protein that localizes predominantly to the cis‐Golgi, where it forms a complex with family members such as YIPF3 to ensure proper Golgi architecture. Disruption of YIPF4—and its associated complex—by knockdown experiments leads to marked fragmentation of the Golgi apparatus, highlighting its essential role in maintaining Golgi integrity and possibly facilitating ER‐to‐Golgi transport."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nDetailed characterization of YIPF4 and its family members reveals a conserved membrane topology comprising a long cytosolic N-terminal domain followed by five closely arranged transmembrane segments and a C-terminal domain oriented toward the Golgi lumen.
