Mannose-6-phosphate receptor binding protein 1 (M6PRBP1) is a protein
Protein
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of...

Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

. Its gene product, as well as the gene itself, is commonly known as TIP47.

Function

Mannose 6-phosphate receptor
Mannose 6-phosphate receptor
In the fields of biochemistry and cell biology, mannose 6-phosphate receptors are proteins that bind newly synthesized lysosomal hydrolases in the trans-Golgi network and deliver them to pre-lysosomal compartments. There are two different MPRs, one of ~300kDa and a smaller, dimeric receptor of...

Protein-protein interaction
Protein–protein interactions occur when two or more proteins bind together, often to carry out their biological function. Many of the most important molecular processes in the cell such as DNA replication are carried out by large molecular machines that are built from a large number of protein...
