Core component of TRAPP complexes I, II and IV; transport protein particle (TRAPP) complexes are related multimeric guanine nucleotide-exchange factor for the GTPase Ypt1p, regulating ER-Golgi traffic (TRAPPI), intra-Golgi traffic (TRAPPII), endosome-Golgi traffic (TRAPPII and III) and autophagy (TRAPPIII, and IV); proposed subunit of a novel complex, TRAPPIV, that may function redundantly with TRAPPIII as a GEF that activates Ypt1 during autophagy
