From HandWiki
Short description: Class of enzymes

p97 also known as VCP (Cdc48 in yeast) is a hexameric ATPase of the AAA family which disassembles SNARE proteins after membrane fusion.[1] It is involved in a fusion of homotypic membranes, protein degradation, and activation of membrane-bound transcription factors.[2]
