Research Abstract	SGSM family proteins interact with NURR1, encoded by the pathogenic gene of Parkinson's disease, and associate with intracellular vesicular transportation. The function of SGSM family proteins was analyzed by molecular biological approaches and the results indicated that SGSM2 was localized at trans-Golgi network and involved in the clathrin-dependent vesicular transportation. The association between SGSM2 and small G protein RAB family proteins was investigated by mammalian 2-hybrid system and the results suggested that SGSM2 show certain specificity for different RAB family proteins.
