Vacuole-specific MYO2 receptor required for vacuole inheritance. Binds simultaneously to MYO2 and to VAC8, a vacuolar membrane protein, forming a transport complex which moves the attached vacuole membrane along actin cables into the bud. Once the vacuole arrives in the bud, VAC17 is degraded, depositing the vacuole in its correct location. Interacts with MYO2 and VAC8. Interacts with ATG18. Belongs to the VAC17 family.
