Gene information for SEC61B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10952
Official gene symbolSEC61B
Full nameSec61 beta subunit
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThe Sec61 complex is the central component of the protein translocation apparatus of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. Oligomers of the Sec61 complex form a transmembrane channel where proteins are translocated across and integrated into the ER membrane. This complex consists of three membrane proteins- alpha, beta, and gamma. This gene encodes the beta-subunit protein. The Sec61 subunits are also observed in the post-ER compartment, suggesting that these proteins can escape the ER and recycle back. There is evidence for multiple polyadenylated sites for this transcript. [provided by RefSeq]
