EXOC1
Description
The EXOC1 (exocyst complex component 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 4.
EXOC1 is a protein encoded by the EXOC1 gene in humans. It is a component of the exocyst complex, a multi-protein complex essential for targeting exocytic vesicles to specific docking sites on the plasma membrane. The exocyst complex is highly conserved across various eukaryotic organisms. At least eight components of the exocyst complex, including EXOC1, interact with the actin cytoskeletal remodeling and vesicle transport machinery. Alternative splicing of the EXOC1 gene results in different isoforms of the protein.
EXOC1, a component of the exocyst complex, plays a crucial role in guiding exocytic vesicles to their specific docking sites on the plasma membrane, facilitating the fusion of these vesicles with the membrane.
EXOC1 is also known as BM-102, SEC3, SEC3L1, SEC3P.
