Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to be involved in endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport and retrograde vesicle-mediated transport, Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to act upstream of or within vesicle-mediated transport. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in COPII-coated ER to Golgi transport vesicle; endoplasmic reticulum; and membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neurogenic-type arthrogryposis multiplex congenita-2. Orthologous to human ERGIC1 (endoplasmic reticulum-golgi intermediate compartment 1).
