Sec23b
Function
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 for their transport to the Golgi complex.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the SEC23/SEC24 family. SEC23 subfamily.
