Gene: SEC16A

Alternate names for this Gene: KIAA0310|SEC16L|p250

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that forms part of the Sec16 complex. This protein has a role in protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi and mediates COPII vesicle formation at the transitional ER. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q34.3

Description of this Gene: SEC16 homolog A, endoplasmic reticulum export factor

Type of Gene: protein-coding
