GOLGA8EP
Description
The GOLGA8EP (golgin A8 family member E, pseudogene) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 15.
GOLGA8EP is a gene that encodes a protein involved in the Golgi apparatus, a cellular organelle responsible for processing and packaging proteins. The protein is localized to the cis-Golgi and interacts with coatomer, a protein complex required for the formation of COPI vesicles. These vesicles transport proteins from the Golgi apparatus to the endoplasmic reticulum, ensuring proper protein sorting and trafficking within the cell.
GOLGA8EP is involved in the formation of the Golgi apparatus, a cellular organelle responsible for processing and packaging proteins. It functions as a Golgi-associated, membrane-bound, cis-Golgi localized protein that binds to the beta-COP subunit of coatomer, a protein complex required for the formation of COPI vesicles. These vesicles transport proteins from the Golgi apparatus to the endoplasmic reticulum, ensuring proper protein sorting and trafficking within the cell.
GOLGA8EP is also known as GOLGA8E.
