Gene: COPB1
Alternate names for this Gene: COPB
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein subunit of the coatomer complex associated with non-clathrin coated vesicles. The coatomer complex, also known as the coat protein complex 1, forms in the cytoplasm and is recruited to the Golgi by activated guanosine triphosphatases. Once at the Golgi membrane, the coatomer complex may assist in the movement of protein and lipid components back to the endoplasmic reticulum. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 11
Location in Chromosome : 11p15.2
Description of this Gene: COPI coat complex subunit beta 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
