The PACS1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 1 (PACS1). The PACS1 protein is found in a complex network of membranes known as the trans-Golgi network, which sorts proteins and other molecules and sends them to their intended destinations inside or outside the cell. Within the trans-Golgi network, this protein helps transport certain molecules and proteins. The PACS1 protein is most active during development before birth.
