Protein transport protein SEC24

UniProtKB accession:  P40482

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the coat protein complex II (COPII) which promotes the formation of transport vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The coat has two main functions, the physical deformation of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane into vesicles and the selection of cargo molecules. SEC24 specifically recruits cargo proteins like BET1 or SYS1 to the COPII vesicles. The SEC23/24 complex is also involved in internalization of plasma membrane proteins like the maltose transporter.
