TCP10L2
Description
The TCP10L2 (t-complex 10 like 2 (pseudogene)) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 6.
TCP10L2 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in the translocon complex, a protein channel in the ER membrane that plays a crucial role in protein transport.
TCP10L2 (Translocon-associated protein complex subunit 10-like 2) is a protein-coding gene that plays a crucial role in the assembly and function of the translocon complex, a protein channel embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. This complex is essential for the translocation of newly synthesized proteins from the cytoplasm to the ER lumen, a critical step in protein folding and trafficking. TCP10L2, along with other translocon components, facilitates the passage of polypeptide chains across the ER membrane, ensuring proper protein localization and function. Mutations in TCP10L2 can lead to disruptions in protein transport, potentially contributing to various cellular dysfunctions and diseases.
TCP10L2 is also known as -.
