Gene: COPZ2

Alternate names for this Gene: zeta2-COP

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the adaptor complexes small subunit family. The encoded protein is a subunit of the coatomer protein complex, a seven-subunit complex that functions in the formation of COPI-type, non-clathrin-coated vesicles. COPI vesicles function in the retrograde Golgi-to-ER transport of dilysine-tagged proteins.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q21.32

Description of this Gene: COPI coat complex subunit zeta 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
