SEC61A2, Official Symbol SEC61A2provided by HGNC Official Full Name SEC61 translocon subunit alpha 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:17702 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000065665 MIM:618271; AllianceGenome:HGNC:17702 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Summary The protein encoded by this gene has similarity to a mouse protein which suggests a role in the insertion of secretory and membrane polypeptides into the endoplasmic reticulum. It may also be required for the assembly of membrane and secretory proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
