SEC23B SEC23 homolog B, COPII coat complex component

Gene ID: 10483, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CWS7; CDAII; CDAN2; CDA-II; HEMPAS; hSec23B

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the SEC23 subfamily of the SEC23/SEC24 family, which is involved in vesicle trafficking. The encoded protein has similarity to yeast Sec23p component of COPII. COPII is the coat protein complex responsible for vesicle budding from the ER. The function of this gene product has been implicated in cargo selection and concentration. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified in this gene.
