Syndetin (VPS50) is a component of the endosome-associated recycling protein (EARP) complex. This complex and the Golgi-associated retrograde protein (GARP) complex share four of the five subunits, but EARP contains syndetin in place of the Vps54 subunit of GARP, with the effect that the EARP complex is directed to endosomes rather than the Golgi. EARP in required for membrane-fusion during endocytic recycling of receptors and is described as a tethering complex [ 1 ].
