Function
Required for the post-translational delivery of tail-anchored (TA) proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum. Together with GET1/WRB, acts as a membrane receptor for soluble GET3/TRC40, which recognizes and selectively binds the transmembrane domain of TA proteins in the cytosol. Required for the stability of GET1.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Ubiquitous. Highest levels in brain, testis and ovary
Disease Association: Congenital disorder of glycosylation 2Z (CDG2Z) : A form of congenital disorder of glycosylation, a genetically heterogeneous group of multisystem disorders caused by a defect in glycoprotein biosynthesis and characterized by under-glycosylated serum glycoproteins. Congenital disorders of glycosylation result in a wide variety of clinical features, such as defects in the nervous system development, psychomotor retardation, dysmorphic features, hypotonia, coagulation disorders, and immunodeficiency. The broad spectrum of features reflects the critical role of N-glycoproteins during embryonic development, differentiation, and maintenance of cell functions. CDG2Z is an autosomal recessive form characterized by a predominantly neurological phenotype with psychomotor disability, hypotonia, epilepsy and structural brain abnormalities. Biochemically, CDG2Z is characterized by combined O- and N-linked glycosylation defects. [The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
