Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable cargo receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in Golgi organization; endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport; and intracellular protein transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein transport. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic vesicle and membrane. Predicted to be part of COPI vesicle coat. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including COPII-coated ER to Golgi transport vesicle; Golgi apparatus; and endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human TMED3 (transmembrane p24 trafficking protein 3).
