Gene: SEC61A1
Alternate names for this Gene: HNFJ4|HSEC61|SEC61|SEC61A
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the SECY/SEC61- alpha family. It appears to play a crucial role in the insertion of secretory and membrane polypeptides into the endoplasmic reticulum. This protein found to be tightly associated with membrane-bound ribosomes, either directly or through adaptor proteins. This gene encodes an alpha subunit of the heteromeric SEC61 complex, which also contains beta and gamma subunits.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 3
Location in Chromosome : 3q21.3
Description of this Gene: SEC61 translocon subunit alpha 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
