ESCRT-II complex subunit. This family of conserved eukaryotic proteins are subunits of the endosome associated complex ESCRT-II which recruits transport machinery for protein sorting at the multivesicular body (MVB). This protein complex transiently associates with the endosomal membrane and thereby initiates the formation of ESCRT-III, a membrane-associated protein complex that functions immediately downstream of ESCRT-II during sorting of MVB cargo. ESCRT-II in turn functions downstream of ESCRT-I, a protein complex that binds to ubiquitinated endosomal cargo.
