背景
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the SEC24 subfamily of the SEC23/SEC24
family, which is involved in vesicle trafficking. The encoded protein has similarity to yeast
Sec24p component of COPII. COPII is the coat protein complex responsible for vesicle
budding from the ER. The product of this gene may play a role in shaping the vesicle, as well
as in cargo selection and concentration. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding
the same protein have been identified.
