ATP6V0A1

Subunit of the V0 complex of vacuolar(H+)-ATPase (V-ATPase), a multisubunit enzyme composed of a peripheral complex (V1) that hydrolyzes ATP and a membrane integral complex (V0) that transports protons across cellular membranes. V-ATPase is responsible for the acidification of various organelles, such as lysosomes, endosomes, the trans-Golgi network, and secretory granules, including synaptic vesicles. In certain cell types, can be exported to the plasma membrane, where it is involved in the acidification of the extracellular environment (By similarity). The V-ATPase complex also acts as an activator for mTORC1 on lysosomal membrane by promoting the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) of the Ragulator complex, thereby enabling mTORC1 recruitment. Required for assembly and activity of the vacuolar ATPase (By similarity). Through its action on compartment acidification, plays an essential role in neuronal development in terms of integrity and connectivity of neurons..
