Sec24a - Sec24 related gene family, member A (S. cerevisiae)

Predicted to enable SNARE binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cholesterol homeostasis; positive regulation of protein secretion; and regulation of cholesterol transport. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic vesicle; endoplasmic reticulum; and membrane. Predicted to be part of COPII vesicle coat. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum exit site. Is expressed in embryo. Orthologous to human SEC24A (SEC24 homolog A, COPII coat complex component). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
