| Trunk domain | The N-terminal portion of the alpha subunit forms part of the "trunk" region that connects to the rest of the complex |
| Cargo recognition site | Contains motifs that bind to cargo sorting signals on transmembrane proteins |
| Linker region | Connects the trunk to the hinge region |
| Hinge segment | Flexible region that allows conformational changes during the vesicle formation cycle |
| Associated Diseases | Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease |
