Catalogin
Catalogin is a term used in theoretical discussions of cellular protein sorting and vesicle trafficking. In this context, Catalogin refers to a hypothetical adaptor-like protein imagined to coordinate cargo selection with the machinery that drives vesicle formation, effectively helping to catalog proteins for transport through the secretory pathway.
In proposed models, Catalogin would bind short sorting motifs on cargo proteins and interface with coat protein
Structurally, speculative models often assign Catalogin a combination of domains: coiled-coil regions that enable oligomerization, a
Genetic and expression details for Catalogin are hypothetical. In teaching contexts, a notional Catalogin gene could
Catalogin, as used here, is not established as a real protein in current biological databases. It serves
