Description

495 bp open reading frame

Transcription

1034 bp mRNA

Proteins

Description

165 amino acids with a hydrophobic domain (transmembrane domain)

Localisation

vesicular structures and the plasma membrane

Function

member of a highly conserved family of proteins with a cysteine-rich hydrophobic (CHIC) motif; resemble the cysteine string proteins, which function in exocytosis.
