Component of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport II (ESCRT-II), which is required for multivesicular body (MVB) formation and sorting of endosomal cargo proteins into MVBs. The MVB pathway mediates delivery of transmembrane proteins into the lumen of the lysosome for degradation. The ESCRT-II complex is probably involved in the recruitment of the ESCRT-III complex. Component of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport II (ESCRT-II), which consists of 2 copies of VPS25, 1 copy of SNF8, and 1 copy of VPS36. The ESCRT-II complex interacts directly with the VPS20 subunit of the ESCRT-III complex. Present with 1040 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. Belongs to the SNF8 family.
